"Perceived Health Status of Americans at 70% Norm"
A survey by OnePoll for Cambia Health Foundation found that Americans rate themselves as 70% healthy on average, with many overlooking important aspects of health such as sleep, mental health care, and positive mindset. Only 12% prioritize mental health care, and social support is lacking for many. Despite recognizing the importance of overall health, Americans face barriers like fear, accessibility, and economic stability that prevent them from seeking medical care. The survey highlights the need for a more holistic approach to health that includes mental well-being and social connections, with a call for equal opportunities to live a healthy life.
