Published 2 Min Read

The world is slowly recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, but the effect it’s had on individuals’ quality of life has yet to improve — and it varies by state. 

Wellness platforms DoFasting and Kilo Health recently released their 2022 Healthy Aging Index Report, which analyzed individuals’ quality of life across all 50 states. The report takes into account five key metrics in its ranking system: demographics, economics, behavioral aspects, healthcare and mental health. The index looked at accessibility to healthcare, crime rates, education, divorce rates and more in order to accurately portray the total health of an individual’s lifespan. Once tallied, states are scored out of 100.  

Index: 70.98/100

Index: 69.20/100
