The recently launched portal was created after legislation passed the General Assembly in 2013, tasking the DOW with presenting the information included in the department’s biennial report to Congress in a more user-friendly format.

A new health ranking of senior citizen health in the U.S. puts Kentucky near the bottom of the list. America’s Health Rankings looked at the health and well-being of people age 65 and older. Kentucky seniors were ranked 48th in the country. The low ranking was attributed to a high prevalence of smoking, high premature death rates and a low percentage of dental visits.

In Kentucky, 11.8 percent of seniors smoke tobacco, 53 percent report visiting a dentist in the last year, and there are 2,357.2 deaths per 100,000 adults age 65 [...]
