Adults That Report Fair or Poor Health

Self-reported health status is a general measure of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a population. This measure is based on survey responses to the question: "In general, would you say that your health is excellent, very good, good, fair, or poor?" The value reported in the County Health Rankings is the percentage of adult respondents who rate their health "fair" or "poor". The measure is age-adjusted to the 2000 US population. Respondents were adults (age 18 and more).
