State of Health in Utah
According to America’s Health Rankings 2016 report, Utah ranks 8th in the nation for overall health. Strengths include a low prevalence of smoking, with only 9% of the adult population indulging; a low percentage of children in poverty; and a low rate of cancer deaths. However, the state also faces challenges such as a high rate of drug deaths, low immunization coverage among adolescents, and a lower number of primary care physicians than in many other states.
In the past two years, disparity in health status by education has increased 14%, from 26.5% to 30.3%. In the past year, physical inactivity increased 21% from 16.8% to 20.3% of adults, and nearly 25% of the population of Utah is obese. These are all markers for increased risk of cardiac arrest and death, and there are 225 cardiac deaths for 100,000 people each year in Utah.
Many cardiac events can be prevented with immediate CPR treatment at the scene of the event.
