Cigna’s 2024 Vitality Report Shows First Improvements Since 2022
Employment satisfaction, sleep quality and lack of physical movement were all tied to vitality levels, survey results show.
Young Americans are reporting a 2% increase in “high vitality,” with “high vitality” rates now at 20% overall, according to the results of Cigna’s third annual Vitality in America report.
Survey data is based on 7,500 adults in the United States. Vitality was measured using Evernorth Vitality Index (EVI) points which gage an individual’s sense of autonomy and competency by asking respondents questions about their emotions, environment, finances, intellect, occupation, purpose and social wellbeing. Vitality rates in the United States have been stable for the past three years, averaging around 67 points out of 100.
“Vitality is a measure of overall health and wellbeing and, ultimately, human performance,” David M. Cordani, chairman and CEO of The Cigna Group said in a news release published today. “Focusing on vitality offers a sustainable guidepost to make our employment landscape, and our communities, better."
Research was conducted from May 29 and June 14, 2024.
