What is healthy status?

Health status is a measure of how people perceive their health—rating it as excellent, very good, good, fair, or poor. Reported health status is a predictor of important health outcomes including mortality, morbidity, and functional status (1–4). It is considered a good global assessment of a person's well-being (4).

0.0 Quantity more than zero but less than 0.05.

NOTES: APC is annual percent change. “Stable” refers to no statistically significant trend during the period. SOURCE: National Center for Health Statistics, National Health Interview Survey. See Sources and Definitions, National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and Health, United States, 2020–2021 Table HStat. Among children under age 18 years, the percentage who reported fair or poor health status decreased from 2009 to 2018. For adults aged 18–44, the percentage who reported fair or poor health status was stable throughout the period. For adults aged 45–54, the percentage who reported fair or poor health status increased from 2009 to 2011 and then decreased through 2018. For adults aged 55–64, the percentage who reported fair or poor health status decreased over the period. Among those aged 65 and over, the percentage who reported fair or poor health status decreased from 2009 to 2015 and then remained stable through 2018. In 2019, the percentage of people who reported fair or poor health status increased with age. The percentage of people who reported fair or poor health status was highest among adults aged 65 and over (25.1%), followed by adults aged 55–64 (21.7%), 45–54 (15.3%), 18–44 (8.4%), and children under age 18 years (2.7%). NOTES: Estimates are based on the civilian noninstitutionalized population. See Sources and Definitions, Population. Age-adjusted estimates are presented to eliminate differences that result from changes in the distribution of age in the population over time. Some estimates are shown by a specific age group because of the strong effect of age on most health outcomes. See Sources and Definitions, Age adjustment. In 2019, the NHIS questionnaire was redesigned, and other changes were made to weighting and design methodology. Data for 2019 have not been fully evaluated for comparability with earlier years; therefore, trends through 2019 are not shown. For more information on the 2019 NHIS redesign and evaluation of the redesign on selected indicators, see: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhis/2019_quest_redesign.htm. People living below 100% of the federal poverty level (FPL) were more likely to report fair or poor health status compared with people living at higher income levels in 2019.

See Sources and Definitions, National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and Health, United States, 2020–2021 Table HStat. From 2009 to 2018, the age-adjusted percentage of people with fair or poor health status did not change significantly over the period for the first three poverty levels. For those living at 400% or more above FPL, the percentage decreased from 2009 to 2014 and then did not change significantly through 2018. In 2019, the percentage of people reporting fair or poor health status increased as family income decreased. Fair or poor health status was highest for those living below FPL (24.6%, age adjusted), and lowest for those living at 400% or more above FPL (5.3%, age adjusted).

What does a 5-star safety rating mean?

Getting a 5-star overall rating from the NHTSA means that the vehicle performed well in protecting passengers in all of these tests. Only 10 cars on sale today get both a 5-star rating from the NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS.

autobytel.com - 10 Cars With a 5-Star Safety Rating | Autobytel.com

You may be the world’s safest driver, but you can’t control the drivers around you — no matter how careful you are, you’ll likely be in a car accident someday. To minimize injury, you want a car with the highest crash-test scores. Two organizations test U.S. cars: The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS), a nonprofit backed by most insurance companies, and the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a government agency. An IIHS Top Safety Pick rating means a car achieved a top score of Good in all six individual IIHS crash tests, as well as a score of Advanced or Superior for its automatic emergency braking system. A further designation of Top Safety Pick+ applies when the vehicle’s standard-equipment headlights score Good or Acceptable. Meanwhile, the NHTSA measures head-on frontal and side-impact crash-test scenarios, as well as the likelihood that a vehicle will roll over in a collision. Getting a 5-star overall rating from the NHTSA means that the vehicle performed well in protecting passengers in all of these tests. Only 10 cars on sale today get both a 5-star rating from the NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS. Here they are, in alphabetical order.
