From Politics to Parity: Using a Health Disparitiies Index to Guide Legislati...Jim Bloyd, DrPH, MPH
This document discusses the creation of a health disparities index (HDI) to quantify racial health disparities in states over time. The researchers analyzed mortality rates for various diseases in Black and White populations in states from 1999-2005. They calculated disparity values and compiled HDI scores for states. States with the lowest average HDI scores, indicating fewer health disparities, were Massachusetts, Oklahoma, and Washington. The HDI scores correlated with social determinants of health like income inequality and rates of uninsured individuals. The researchers aim to use the HDI to guide legislative efforts to reduce health disparities.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
