​​Kentucky Statistics

According to the 2023 America's Health Rankings, the United Health Foundation reported that the Commonwealth of Kentucky ranked 41st for overall health. Additionally, the 2022 Kentucky Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey reports that:​

• 38% of citizens are obese
• 26% do not engage in any non-work physical activity (i.e., exercise)
• 45% eat fruit less than once per day
• 20% eat vegetables less than once per day
• 17% of adults smoke cigarettes (4th highest)

These factors contribute to health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and cancers, which diminish quality of li​fe and contribute to premature ​death.​
