What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the percentage of adults who stated that they experienced two or fewer days of poor physical health in the past month. |
| Why this is important: People's subjective assessment of their health status is important because when people feel healthy they are more likely to feel happy and to participate in their community socially and economically. Areas with unhealthy populations lose productivity due to lost work time. Healthy residents are essential for creating a vibrant and successful community. |
| Technical Note: The distribution is based on data from 24 Maryland counties and county equivalents. |

| 2011 | The BRFSS 2011 prevalence data should be considered a baseline year for data analysis and is not directly comparable to previous years of BRFSS data because of the changes in weighting methodology and the addition of the cell phone sampling frame. |
