Notice to Readers: Publication of Health, United States, 2007
CDC's National Center for Health Statistics has published
Health, United States, 2007, the 31st edition of the
annual report on the nation's health. The report includes 151 detailed trend tables organized around four broad subject
areas: health status and determinants, health-care use, health-care resources, and health-care expenditures. Many of the
trend tables provide information on racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in health.
The report also includes the 2007 Chartbook on Trends in the Health of
Americans, which assesses the current state of the nation's health and how it is changing over time, both positively and negatively, by presenting trends
and information on selected determinants and measures of health status. Determinants of public health examined in
the chartbook include demographic factors, health-insurance
coverage, health behaviors, and preventive health
care. Measures of health status and risk factors focus on trends in mortality and limitations of activity caused by
chronic health conditions. The 2007
Chartbook includes a special feature on access to needed or recommended
health-care services. It also presents information on financial
barriers to receipt of health-care services, including lack of
health insurance and high out-of-pocket expenses, and nonfinancial barriers to care, including lack of transportation
and limited supply of health services or providers.
