Current health trends in health outcomes and health factors are markedly different for different subgroups within the state’s population. Efforts to improve health in Wisconsin must consider the full array of factors that influence how long and how well we live, and must begin with analysis of the circumstances that may produce longer healthier lives for some, but not all, of the state’s residents.
