Erie County has a slightly better health status than is being reported by the state or nation. However, this is a recent trend. Prior to 2007 data, our poor health status rates were above the state and nation. This will be one area where we will want to pay close attention to see whether the positive trend continues.
Those reporting the highest rates of poor health status include females (16%), those over the age of 65 (25%), those with less than a high school education (40%), and those earning less than $25,000 a year (26%). As is the case with many health indicators, education and income levels have a strong influence on health status. As education and income increase, so does one’s chances for better health status. Transversely, the lower one’s education and income level, the more likely they will have poor health status.
