US citizens have a life expectancy of 70 years, when adjusted for healthy years lived, which ranks the country 27th, on this variable. Below average rates of infant mortality and undernourishment rank the United States 36th and fourth, respectively. Government health expenditure per capita is the highest in the world; this high level of spending, however, results in only average provision of hospital beds, but above average rates of immunisation for infectious diseases and measles, and the world’s second lowest incidence of tuberculosis. It also means that the entire US population has access to improved sanitation facilities. However, the US places 60th for its comparatively high incidence of respiratory disease. In 2010, around 90%* of respondents were satisfied with the quality of water in their area. Public perceptions of health vary; while 86%* of the population was content with their personal health in 2010, an above average 33%* had felt worried for a significant amount of the day before being surveyed. Perhaps consequently, the United States ranks 50th with regard to the share of the population that feels well-rested. However, the fact that only 21%* reported debilitating health problems in 2010 indicates a more positive situation. Also, a high level of satisfaction with the beauty of the immediate environment places the United States 20th*, on this variable.
