How are all of the grades for the different outcomes and life stages weighted in order to combine all of these measures into an overall grade for health?
The health grades from the four life stages are equally weighted when they are averaged to calculate the overall grade for health, so each life stage grade contributes one-forth of the final health grade. However, the working-age adult and older adult life stage health grades are created by equally combining the life stage health grades for mortality and unhealthy days, while the infant and children/young adult health grades are based solely on mortality rates. The unhealthy days measure only contributes to the overall health grade through these life stages, making the overall health grade effectively based 75% on mortality rates and 25% on unhealthy days.
