  1. This table shows the metabolic health indicators that were strongly associated with the HPI score based on R2 values. The unadjusted values (i.e., not percentiles) are shown for each health indicator in each of the ten counties examined. Except for life expectancy, an increase in prevalence corresponds to a greater disease burden. Asthma ER and Heart Attack ER Admissions are presented as a rate per 10,000 in population
