National Data: The national data is the age-adjusted percent of US adults that report their general health is good, very good or excellent from the national U.S. BRFSS survey. The national data is also used as the target value, we are aiming to be above the national average. 

The trend among Utah adults regarding their self-reported general health indicates a generally positive outlook, with a significant majority considering their health to be good, very good, or excellent. In 2023, approximately 85.5% of Utah adults reported this level of positive general health. Furthermore, Utah has historically shown a lower proportion of adults reporting fair or poor health compared to the U.S. as a whole. While there was a statistically significant decrease in self-reported health in 2020, likely due to the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the overall trend suggests a resilient perception of good health among the adult population in Utah.
