Selection of the Leading Health Indicators

The framework of selecting health indicators take into account two primary factors within

its scope. The two fundamental factors, in this case, are health determinants and health across life

stages. Under the health determinants, the Healthy People 2020 framework considers elements

such as environmental conditions, social and economic variables and their interrelationship with

individuals within the community (ODPHP, 2021). For example, there is a health disparity

between individuals with stabilized incomes compared to their destitute peers. On the other hand,

health outcome across life stages focuses on the particular determinants and risk factors that vary

across individuals’ life span. The primary objective emphasized include inducing specific

remedies to minimize specific risk factors for promoting quality health in the communities.

Crucial Health Indicator-Community Wise

From the perspective of my community, the leading health indicator inclines on social

determinants. The social indicators in this view would be education on healthy lifestyles such as

physical exercise. A typical example includes educating the community on observing a balanced

diet and practicing physical activities like lifting weights or gymnastics. One advantage of

observing the physical exercises and balanced diet would help curb disorders such as obesity.

For example, there is a gradual increase in obesity affecting adults in the United States. Healthy

People 2020 reveals that nearly 34% of adults in the US have obesity disorder (ODPHP, 2021).

Thus, creating awareness on the social determinants will help prevent disease for promoting

quality health in the community.
