Major Study Finds That Overall Population Health in U.S. Has Improved

“In a major study that includes data on the status of population health from 34 countries from 1990-2010, overall population health improved in the U.S. during this period, including an increase in life expectancy; however, illness and chronic disability now account for nearly half of the health burden and improvements in the U.S. have not kept pace with advances in population health in other wealthy nations, according to a study published online by JAMA. The study is being published online in connection with an event at the White House and the National Press Club regarding the state and trends of health in the U.S. Dr. Murray and JAMA Editor-in-Chief Howard Bauchner, M.D., will be among the speakers at the National Press Club.”
