Health inequities result in poor health outcomes creating a burden on clients, families, and communities. One of the areas of impact is in life expectancy. Several factors impact life expectancy, including genetics, race, socioeconomic status, and lifestyle choices. Surprisingly, one of the most significant predictors of life expectancy is zip code. View this brief video Links to an external site https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu7d0BMRt0o .on the correlation of zip code to life expectancy. Then, follow the directions below to gather information for your initial discussion post. You may gather information for your home county or for the area in which you intend to practice.

      1. Explain the implications of this data for your future practice.
