The Gallup-Healthways survey, recently published in the New York Times, consisted of over 177,000 interviews with individuals across the U.S. According to the NYT article, the analysis “goes beyond physical components to capture how Americans feel and experience the context of their daily lives. In addition to capturing aspects of physical health, the Well-Being Index examines Americans’ perceptions on topics that span individuals’ sense of purpose, social relationships, financial security and relationship to their community. These five interrelated elements are proven to directly influence quality of life, healthcare costs and workplace productivity.”
To those of us living, working, or vacationing in Hawai’i, it’s no surprise that Hawai’i holds such a distinction.
