Alternate Title
Disparities in Social Determinants of Health Outcomes and Behaviors between Older Adults in Alaska and the Contiguous US: Evidence from a National Survey
Study uses data from 165 295 respondents from the 2016 Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System to assess how sociodemographic factors affect healthy ageing in Alaskan older adults. Findings suggest some significant differences between Alaska the continental U.S. exist and that programs designed to reduce disparities and promote healthy behaviours should be tailored to fit the target population.
