Health Risk Assessment
Changes to the demographics of the targeted population.
Overall, the physical health status among the targeted population declined slightly. While those reporting excellent/very good status remained the same, the percentage of respondents reporting good health declined, and the percentage reporting fair/poor health increased. There was, however, an increase in the reporting of excellent or very good mental health. This measure increased from 46% to 58%, and the percentage of respondents reporting fair/poor mental health declined from 22% to 16%.
While the gender of respondents remained the same a 38% male/62% female, the age of the respondents increased. This might account for some of the changes in overall health levels. What we found was that the number of respondents aged 18 to 44 declined from 5% to 2%, while there were increases recorded in the following cohorts: 45 to 64, 65 to 69, 80 to 84 and 85 and up.
In terms of education, there were only minimal changes to the demographics, though a slight increase in the amount of education that the respondents received. The racial mix of the respondents in 2013 saw an increase in Hispanic/Latino but slight declines among African-American and Asian respondents.
