What does your voting preference say about your health?
We asked the Medibank Better Health Index
With the Australian federal election drawing closer, we used data from the Medibank Better Health Index to determine our healthiest voters.
The Medibank Better Health Index is Australia’s most comprehensive quarterly health survey and is based on seven health areas: nutrition, fitness, BMI, medical health, mental health, smoking and alcohol. When combined, these seven areas make up an overall Health Index Score.
