Progress has been limited to many objectives, leading to concerns about the effectiveness of Healthy People in shaping outcomes in the context of a decentralized and uncoordinated US health system.

In one study, people with chronic insufficient sleep, set as six hours of sleep a night or less, were found to be four times more likely to catch a cold compared to those who reported sleeping for seven hours or more a night.

My only complaint right now would be that I have to turn on the Dark Mode setting for my entire phone to use this app in Dark Mode. I have many other apps that have their own Dark Mode setting, so it would be so much better if I could just toggle that on for the Samsung Health app by itself. Please note that Samsung Health is intended for fitness and wellness purposes only and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.
