. The comprehensive research was funded by the Tufts Health Plan Foundation with research conducted by the Gerontology Institute at the John W. McCormack Graduate School of Policy and Global Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston.
The data will help New Hampshire understand healthy aging trends and disparities throughout the state, examining 166 health indicators in 244 local cities and towns.
What's more, Senior Leadership Volunteers from around the state are using their collective power and unified voice to help disseminate the data and interactive maps.

In New Hampshire, one out every five of us is over the age of 60. What do we know about those 301,000 people? Actually, a lot. Much information has been collected on our senior population, but until now, finding that information all in one place has been impossible.
As of today, that has changed.
The New Hampshire Healthy Aging Data Report went online this morning (Tuesday, April 2, 2019). It was unveiled at a legislative breakfast at the State House and later in a conference call to journalists. You can see the website at
