Race, gender, and where you live can have a profound impact on your well-being. In a first-of-its kind analysis, new data shows significant disparities in individual well-being as measured by lifespan, education, and income. As researchers point out, these disparities are not merely statistics, but a call for action. We discuss the data with study author IHME Associate Professor Laura Dwyer-Lindgren.
An independent population health research organization based at the University of Washington School of Medicine, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) works with collaborators around the world to develop timely, relevant, and scientifically valid evidence that illuminates the state of health everywhere. In making our research available and approachable, we aim to inform health policy and practice in pursuit of our vision: all people living long lives in full health.
