Introduction
In July 1991, the Centers for Disease Control released a set of health status indicators, in responseto Objective 22.1 of Healthy People 2000. CDC attempted to develop a set of health status indicators thatwould: be few in number; allow a comprehensive measure of community health; include general and specificmeasures of community health; be measurable at federal, state, and local levels; be readily and uniformlyunderstandable; be measurable using available data; imply specific interventions compelling action; and beoutcome oriented.
This is an update on the Healthy People 2000 Health Status indicators for the 12 local healthdepartment districts in Utah. The data are presented so that policy implications relevant to each local healthdepartment district can be considered. Recent national data are presented. Health, as measured by severalof these indicators, differs substantially among racial and ethnic groups in the United States. A higherproportion of Utah�s population is white (95%) than is true of the U.S. Therefore, in addition to the U.S.overall rates, we also present U.S. rates for white persons. Appendix 3 presents data on the Health StatusIndicators for the major racial and ethnic groups in the U.S.
The health status indicators are often difficult to interpret for districts with populations smaller thanabout 50,000 people. Rates for Summit, Wasatch, and Tooele counties, and Tri-County district should beinterpreted with caution. One way to determine if a high rate means that a problem exists is look at varia-tions over time; if the rate is always high, then a problem may exist; on the other hand, if the rate varies fromhigh to low, then the high rate may well be a chance variation based on small numbers. Appendix 4 presentsadditional information on how to interpret rates based on small numbers. This report presents data for1988-1996. The ACTION-2000 computer system is available to obtain data for different periods of time.
The report has two parts. Part 1 presents a description of each of the health status indicators.Under the description for each indicator, the data for all 12 local health department districts are presented.For example, on page 1 the infant mortality rates for each of the 12 districts are presented, as well as therelevant Utah and U.S. rates for comparison. Two Utah rates are presented: first, the rate above the graphis for the same year as the most recent available U.S. rate, in order to compare Utah to the U.S.; andsecond, the rate below the graph is for the same time period as the LHD rates, in order to compare theLHD rates to Utah. The narratives for the individual health status indicators briefly describe the relationshipsbetween the individual local health department rates and the Utah and U.S. rates, but are not intended to bea comprehensive analysis of the data. Data are not included for syphilis, one of the Healthy People 2000Health Status Indicators, because too few cases occur in Utah for meaningful analysis at the district level.
Part 2 contains profiles for each local health department district. Each profile contains demographicand risk factor information for a local health department, as well as results for each of the health statusindicators for that local health department. The risk factor information in this report was obtained from the1996 Utah Health Status Survey, conducted by the Utah Department of Health.

Infant Mortality
The rate of infant mortality (deaths of infants less than one year of age) is an important measure of the healthof infants and mothers. It also assesses the delivery of health care and related services to mothers andinfants. Utah’s overall infant mortality rate is among the lowest of all states.
Utah’s infant mortality rate decreased by over 40% from 1980 to 1992, but has changed little since 1992.Most of Utah’s Health Districts have also experienced declining rates of infant mortality; these include BearRiver, Central, Davis, Salt Lake, Southeastern, Southwest, Utah County, and Weber-Morgan.
Trends for the districts with small populations (Summit, Tooele, Wasatch, and Tri-County) aredifficult to interpret.

Total Mortality
Utah’s age-adjusted all-cause mortality rate has decreased steadily and is almost 20% lower than the U.S.rate and substantially lower than the U.S. white rate. Highest rates were found in Southeastern, Tooele, andTri-County, and lowest rates in Bear River, Davis, and Summit County.

The highest death rates from motor vehicle crashes continued to occur in Southeastern and Tri-Countydistricts. Motor vehicle crash death rates tended to be higher in the rural health districts where residentsoften drive longer distances at higher speeds than do residents of urban areas.

Work-Related Injury Deaths
Work-related injury deaths involve all segments of the population, and most such deaths could have beenprevented. Each year in Utah about 50 people die as a result of a work-related injury. Men are at highestrisk of death from work-related injury.
Because of the small numbers of deaths, it is difficult to evaluate differences among local health districts.For example, the high rate in Central district during this three-year period was based on only 4 deaths peryear, and the high rate in Tri-County was based on only 3 deaths per year.

Suicide is one of the few causes of death for which the Utah rate exceeds the U.S. rate. In 1994, Utah hadthe 9th highest suicide rate in the U.S.
Bear River, Utah County, and Davis County have consistently had lower suicide rates than the rest of Utah,whereas Salt Lake, Weber-Morgan, and Southeastern have consistently had higher rates.

Utah’s death rate from homicide was substantially lower than the U.S. rate.
The majority of Utah’s homicide deaths occurred among residents of Salt Lake and Weber counties. In1994, Salt Lake and Weber counties accounted for 73% of homicide deaths (although those two countiesaccount for only 50% of the state’s population. The other urban Wasatch Front counties (Davis and Utah)had low homicide rates. Summit and Tri-County districts had high homicide rates during this three-yearperiod, but those high rates were based on relatively few deaths (4 and 7 deaths in the three-year period,respectively).

In Utah, over 300 people die each year from lung cancer. Utah’s lung cancer death rate is less than half theU.S. rate. Utah’s low lung cancer death rate is a result of the low rates of tobacco use in Utah. In general,lung cancer mortality rates in Utah’s health districts are closely related to smoking rates; districts with highersmoking rates have higher lung cancer mortality rates.

Female Breast Cancer Death Rates by Local Health DistrictUtah 1994-1996
Although Utah’s mortality rate from breast cancer is lower than the U.S. rate, breast cancer is a major causeof morbidity and mortality among Utah women. Over 800 Utah women are newly diagnosed with breastcancer and almost 200 women die from the disease each year. Data from the Utah Cancer Registry showan increase over time in the proportion of breast cancers diagnosed at an early and potentially curable stage.
Breast cancer mortality rates do not vary significantly among Utah’s local health districts; the high rate inSummit County during this three-year period was based on very small numbers and is not a reliable indica-tor.

More Utahns die of cardiovascular disease than from any other cause, despite the reduction in mortalityover the past two decades. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in each of Utah’s twelvelocal health districts as well.
The main components of cardiovascular disease are heart disease and stroke. Data on heart disease andstoke by local health district are presented on the next two pages.

Heart disease accounts for about three-quarters of cardiovascular disease deaths. Utah’s heart diseasedeath rate is about 27% lower than the U.S. rate. Most heart disease deaths are due to coronary arterydisease. Both Utah and the U.S. have experienced dramatic declines in heart disease death rates over thepast decades. Despite those declines, heart disease remains the leading cause of death in Utah and in mosthealth districts.
Heart disease death rates are highest in Central district and lowest in Summit district.

Cerebrovascular disease, the cause of strokes, accounts for about one-fifth of cardiovascular diseasedeaths. In addition to being an important cause of death, strokes can have devastating effects on quality oflife for victims who survive.
The death rate from strokes in Utah declined by about 30% from 1980 to 1992, but has leveled out sincethen. The highest death rates from stroke were found in Bear River and Central districts and in DavisCounty; the lowest rate was in Summit County.

AIDS is a major public health problem. Data can be examined either by date of report or by date ofdiagnosis. Because date of diagnosis more accurately reflects the epidemiology of the disease, the graphshown on this page displays the data by date of diagnosis; however, the numbers will change because ofdelayed reporting. Cummulatively since the onset of the AIDS epidemic, over 1,500 cases of AIDS hadbeen diagnosed in Utah through mid-1995; 849 people (56%) had died.
During this three-year time period, cases of AIDS are reported from 10 of the 12 health districts. Duringthe epidemic, cases have been diagnosed in all of Utah’s health districts. Because of confidentiality, the datafor Wasatch and Tri-County districts were combined. The incidence of AIDS was highest in Salt LakeCounty.
* These provisional data are current as of 1/29/98; numbers will change due to delayed reporting.Footnote: Monitoring incidence of HIV infection using reported AIDS cases is difficult for several reasons. First, it takes about 10 years onaverage from the time a persons becomes infected with HIV until the onset of the disease, AIDS. Thus, the reported AIDS cases in 1996actually represent infections that were acquired in about 1986. Second, reporting is not complete and the completeness can vary from yearto year. Third, the date a persons is reported can occur at varying times after the diagnosis of AIDS is made. For this report, AIDSincidence was calculated by year of diagnosis. While this removes some of the effect of lags in reporting, it also means that the rate for themost recent years is artificially low (e.g., additional cases diagnosed in 1996 will almost certainly be reported in future years).

Measles is a contagious viral infection that most often affects children and often occurs as outbreaks orepidemics. Measles can be prevented by immunization and measles outbreaks can be prevented if a highproportion of people in a population are immunized. Utah’s immunization rates for two year-olds have beenamong the lowest in the nation in recent years.
Utah experienced measles outbreaks in 1994 and 1996. The largest number of cases occurred in South-west district, but the highest rate was in Summit County.

Nationally, tuberculosis incidence is changing because of HIV infection and the increase in homeless popula-tions. Although Utah’s tuberculosis rate is not as high as the U.S. rate, some Utah populations (especiallyhomeless persons and persons born in countries where tuberculosis is common) have high tuberculosisrates. Individuals with AIDS are also more likely to develop TB and to have a more rapidly progressiveillness.
Although tuberculosis has been diagnosed in every health district in the state, the highest rate during this timeperiod occurred in Southwest district, and majority of cases were diagnosed in Salt Lake City/Countydistrict.

Utah Rate 1994-1996: 6.3 percent
* The low birth weight rate is the percentage of live born infants weighing <2,500 grams at delivery.
Low birth weight, defined as the birth of an infant weighing less than 2,500 grams (about 5 1/2 lb.), is animportant predictor of infant mortality. Low birth weight infants are also at higher risk for morbidity, such asdevelopmental disorders, and respiratory infections. Over the last decade the rate of low birth weight birthshas been gradually increasing in Utah.
In Utah, the highest rates of low birth weight babies during this time period were found in Summit, Tooele,Tri-County, and Wasatch districts.

Teen pregnancies pose health and social problems for mothers and their infants, including a greater risk ofpoor pregnancy outcomes and a greater chance that the family will live in poverty.
Utah’s birth rate for adolescents is substantially lower than the U.S. rate, but similar to the U.S. white rate.Utah’s rate has changed little since the mid-1980s. Analyses by the Utah Bureau of Vital Records hasshown that the induced abortion rate among Utah teens is much lower than the U.S. rate, and has actuallydecreased.
The highest rates of births to 15-17 year old adolescents occurred in Tooele, and Weber-Morgan districts.The lowest rates were found in Davis and Summit districts.

Utah Rate 1994-1996: 15.4 percent
Lack of Prenatal Care in First Trimester by Local Health DistrictUtah 1994-1996
Early entry into prenatal care permits early identification of risks and appropriate intervention. Lack ofprenatal care in the first trimester may indicate problems with access to care. The proportion of Utahwomen not receiving care in the first trimester decreased somewhat from 1980 to 1994. However, thetrend seems to have reversed in 1995 and 1996. The percentage of women not receiving first trimestercare in Utah remains substantially higher than the Year 2000 objective (no more than 10% of women lackingsuch care).
Overall 15.4% of women delivering babies in Utah from 1994-1996 did not receive prenatal care in the firsttrimester. However, Central, Salt Lake, Southeastern, Southwest, Tooele, Tri-County, and Weber-Morgandistricts had rates higher than the Utah rate. There are currently no districts meeting the Healthy People2000 goal.

U.S. 1993: 17.8% (whites)
Childhood poverty is an indicator of many risk factors for poor health. Over 94,000 Utah children underthe age of 18 live in poverty, representing 13.6% of all children in the state. The state rate of 13.6% issubstantially lower than the U.S. rate, but several of Utah’s health districts have rates that are much higherthan the overall state rate. Rates were significantly higher than the state rate in Southeastern, Tri-County,Central, and Southwest districts, and lowest in Summit, Davis, and Wasatch districts.

Profiles of Utah Local Health Districts
Part 2 contains 12 sections, one for each local health department. Each section has 2subsections. The first subsection contains demographic information, including estimated population,racial and ethnic distribution, education and income, as well as risk factor and health relatedbehavior information. The second subsection presents the Healthy People 2000 Health StatusIndicators for that district.
The data presented in the first subsection were selected for several reasons. First, most arerisk factors for the outcomes measured by the Health Status Indicators. For example, educationallevel is related to overall mortality, smoking is related to lung cancer mortality, alcohol use is relatedto motor vehicle crashes and to suicide mortality, and the chronic disease risk factors are related tocardiovascular disease and cancer deaths. Second, asthma was selected because it may be in partcaused or worsened by poor air quality. Third, indicators of health care access are presented;although on a population basis, health care access is not related strongly to health status, on anindividual basis, it can make a major difference in quality and duration of life. Fourth, theprevalence of households with guns is presented because of the potential for accidental or intentionalinjury.
The Healthy People 2000 indicators are presented in the second subsection, after thedemographic and risk factor information. For each indicator, the following information is shown:
� The local health department district result� The comparable Utah specific result� The ranking of the local health department district, relative to the other 12 districts. The
lowest or best rate, was ranked 1, and the highest or worst rate, 12. For a tie, both weregiven the same rank at the best or lowest level.
� The average number of events per year
The information allows a comparison between the local health department district and thestate rate, as well as indicating how well the local health department compares to the other districtsby presenting the ranking. Additionally, the public health impact of the indicator can be assessed bythe total number of events occuring per year.
Although this report does not represent a comprehensive analysis, some of the major findingsinclude:
1) Southeast and Tri-County districts had the highest proportion of Native Americans (16.3%, and8.9% respectively).
2) Hispanics comprised 14.4% of Tooele, 9.7% of Weber-Morgan, 6.6% of Southeast, and 8.3%of Salt Lake districts.
3) The prevalence of people (aged 18 and older) with less than a high school education rangedfrom 3.6% in Davis to 16.9% in Tri-County district.
4) The prevalence of households with income of less than $10,000 per year ranged from 7.2% inDavis to 21.2% in Southeastern district.
20 Utah�s Healthy People 2000 Health Status Indicators by Local Health District, Utah Department of Health
5) The highest smoking prevalences were found in Tooele (21.7%), Southeastern (18.4%), andTri-County (18.2%) districts, and the lowest in Utah County (7.2%) and Bear River (7.8%)districts.
6) The highest prevalence rates of alcohol use were found in Summit (48.9%), Salt Lake (32.9%),and Tooele (29.1%) districts.
7) The percentage of individuals who had had a cholesterol test ranged from 62.5% in Central to76.1% in Weber-Morgan district.
8) Southeastern and Weber-Morgan had the highest prevalence rates of reported asthma in chil-dren under the age of 17 (66.0/1000 and 63.1/1000 respectively).
9) The percentage of households with at least one gun ranges from 36.6% in Salt Lake to 69.3%in Central district.
10) The percentage of individuals without health insurance ranges from 4.9% in Davis to 16.7% inTri-County district.
The most striking finding that emerged from these data was that some districts were belowthe state rate for most of the indicators, whereas some districts were above the state rate for most ofthe indicators. For example, Bear River, Utah County, and Davis had the �healthiest� profiles, andSoutheastern and Tri-County had the least healthy profiles. Bear River was above (worse than) thestate rate for only two indicators (work-related injury deaths and breast cancer deaths), whereasSoutheastern was above the state rate for 15 of 20 indicators, and Tri-County for 14 of 20 indicators.It appears that factors related to �good� health outcomes cluster both individually and regionally.Perhaps if an individual tends to adopt one lifestyle factor related to good health, that individual isalso likely to adopt others.
Another observation is that having a �healthy profile� was not necessarily related to whetheror not the area is rural or urban. These results suggested that the people in some rural counties, suchas those in Southeastern District had overall poorer health status. Similarly, the urban counties ofUtah and Davis had much healthier profiles than did the urban counties of Weber and Salt Lake.
The factors related to health status are complex, and include education level, economic wellbeing, lifestyles and behaviors, such as tobacco use, excessive use of alcohol, exercise, and a healthydiet, as well as access to personal health care.
In summary, these data are presented as a guide for each local health department to compareits profile for risk factors, health-related behaviors, and health outcomes to the state, and to otherdistricts in order to better determine the public health needs most appropriate for that district.

Appendix 4
Interpreting Rates Based on Small Numbers
For many of the health districts in Utah, the measures for these health status indicators are based onvery small numbers of events. We decided to report the rates even for very small numbers, because webelieved that the information would be useful. It is important to remember that rates based on small num-bers of events are unstable. In common language, that means that they will vary from year to year (or fromthree year period to three year period, in this case) even if nothing else changes. Therefore, it is importantnot to overreact to a rate that is higher or lower than expected.
How much are they likely to vary? Put another way, how much higher or lower than expected musta rate be before we can be sure that it really is high or low? Epidemiologists often use confidence interval tohelp answer that question. For these data, a confidence interval can be thought of as indicating the amountthat the rate can be expected to vary from year-to-year. For example, the 95% confidence interval for arate of 200 per 100,000 persons based on 10 deaths over five years (in a population of 1,000 persons)would be from 96 to 368 per 100,000. If the Utah rate for that cause was within the confidence interval(96-368), then the rate would not be significantly different. On the other hand, if the Utah rate was outsidethe confidence interval, the rate would be significantly different. For example, if the Utah rate were 180 per100,000, the district rate of 200 per 100,000 would not be considered significantly different; if the Utah ratewere 80 per 100,000, the district rate of 200 per 100,000 would be considered significantly different.However, deciding that the rates are not significantly different does not mean that the observed difference isnot important. It means that we cannot be sure that chance alone did not cause the difference. It does nottell us that the difference was caused by chance.
If you want to use a confidence interval to help interpret a rate for your district, Table 1 gives the95% confidence intervals for selected numbers of deaths. To convert the confidence interval for the numberof deaths into a confidence interval around the rate use the following formula:
number in confidence intervalactual number of deaths
x actual rate
For example, with 10 deaths and a rate of 200 (per 100,000 persons), the confidence interval for deaths isfrom 4.8 to 18.4 (from Table 1) so the confidence interval for the rate is:
4.810
18.410
x 200 = 96
x 200 = 368
Please call us if you have questions.
