Abstract:

The state of health of the general population is an important issue for policy makers. This variable is

impacted by several lifestyle variables. These include access to healthcare, education, traffic, weather

conditions etc. The key objective of this paper is to investigate the effects of these variables on the

average health of a state’s population. We develop a predictive model and test it with state- level data.

We discuss the results and possible implications for policy makers.
