State of Health in Rhode Island
According to America’s Health Rankings 2016 report, Rhode Island ranks 14th in the nation for overall health. There is a low percentage of children in poverty, a high immunization coverage among adolescents, and a significantly higher number of primary care physicians relative to population compared to other states.
Sadly, the high rate of drug related deaths (which increased 39% from 15.4 to 21.4 deaths per 100,000 population over the past four years), a disparity in health status by educational attainment, and a high prevalence of frequent mental distress plague the state.
Obesity is not as serious as in many other states, but physical inactivity increased 25% from 22.5% to 28.1% of adults in the past year - a trend that should be reversed to help lower risk of cardiac events.
