"Figure 3: Regions in the south and east of England had the best health between 2015 and 2019","" "Health Index scores for regions of England, 2015 to 2019","" "","" "Notes","1. The Health Index for England is an experimental statistic. 2. The Health Index is comprised of 56 indicators, summarised into 14 subdomains, 3 domains and then an overall score for each geographical area. The results presented here are for the overall Health Index score only. 3. A score of 100 means health is equal to England's health in 2015. A score higher than 100 means health is better; a score lower than 100 means health is worse. 4. Results are presented by calendar year. If an indicator's underlying data source used a different year format, such as academic year or financial year, those data are counted as the calendar year with greatest overlap. For example, financial year 2013 to 14 begins in April 2013 and ends in March 2014. The majority of the financial year overlaps with the 2013 calendar year, so the data for that financial year would be included in the 2013 Health Index results."
