Composite indicators are useful for summarizing and comparing changes among different communities. The UK Office for National Statistics has created an annual England Health Index (2015-2018) comprised of three main health domains - lives, places, and people - to monitor health over time and across different geographical areas and evaluate the nation's health. We reviewed the conceptual coherence and statistical requirements, focusing on three main steps: correlation analysis at different levels, comparison of the implemented weights, and a sensitivity and uncertainty analysis. Based on the results, we have highlighted features that have improved the statistical requirements of the forthcoming UK Health Index.
