Questions Text: During the past 30 days, for about how many days did poor physical or mental health keep you from doing your usual activities, such as self-care, work, or recreation?Why Is This Important?
Persons whose activities are limited due to physical, mental, or emotional problems may need more specialized health care than persons without such limitation. Their medical costs are generally higher and they are more likely to miss days from school or work.How Are We Doing?
In 2022, approximately 22.0% (crude rate) of Utah adults reported that their poor mental or physical health limited their usual activities in the past 30 days. The highest rate was found among 18-24 year old females (30.5%). The lowest rate was found among 45-54 year old males (15.2%).How Do We Compare With the U.S.?
The age-adjusted percentage of Utah adults who reported any limitation in activities has been slightly lower than the U.S. rate over the years. In 2022, 22.1% (20.8-23.5%) of adults in Utah reported some activity limitation and 25.0% (24.7-25.4%) of adults in the U.S. reported activity limitation.Graphical Data Views
