Hidden Health Risks in New Hampshire This state regularly rates in the top 10 healthiest places in the country, but that doesn’t mean medical professionals don’t see their fair share of concerns. Binge drinking is a troubling trend here and can cause more than just personal health troubles. Drinking and driving causes severe, and even fatal, accidents every year. New Hampshire isn’t exempt from the spreading crisis of obesity. In the past ten years, the number of adults who are seriously overweight jumped from 18% to 25%. It’s alarming to think that one quarter of all adults are carrying around so much extra baggage. The complications from obesity run the gambit. There are a lot of good points to living in New Hampshire. Not many children are living in poverty and there are very few violent crimes compared to other states. Many pregnant women practice proper prenatal care and continue to care for their children with high rates of immunizations. It’s wrong to assume that healthcare professionals here have it relatively easy. It is always vital to be prepared for emergency situations, and employees with ACLS certification have gone through crucial additional training. More employers are requiring this than ever before. Diabetes is another concern that is on the rise. Around 81,000 New Hampshire adults have been diagnosed with this disease. It’s easy to manage when people follow their doctor’s advice. However, without proper care, it can become fatal. Some people do not realize they are diabetic until they find themselves in the emergency room. The amount of public health funding is on the fence and could definitely be better. Not having access to healthcare is a huge obstacle for some residents. Preventative care, regular check-ups, and access to emergency care without worrying about how to pay for it are all important to a healthy community. |
