State of Health in South Carolina
According to America’s Health Rankings 2016 report, South Carolina ranks 42nd in the nation for overall health. Residents benefit from a low prevalence of excessive drinking, a low incidence of pertussis, and a low rate of preventable hospitalizations.
However, many problems exist, including a high incidence of infectious disease, a low immunization coverage among adolescents, and a high prevalence of low birthweight (which can lead to health issues later in life).
On the upside, over the past few years, smoking decreased 8% from 21.5% to 19.7% of adults. Infant mortality decreased 23% from 8.7 to 6.7 deaths per 1,000 live births. Sadly, 20% of the population are smokers, obesity stands at 30%, and 26% of the population doesn't get enough physical exercise - all hallmarks of heightened cardiac risk.
