America's Healthiest and Unhealthiest States
A recent article authored by David Sutton for Forbes.com listed the healthiest and unhealthiest states.
The article was based on the report, America's Health Rankings. The study (which compiled and analyzed 22 health measures, both determinants and outcomes)was a collaboration between United Health Foundation, American Public Health Association and Partnership for Prevention. Data for the study was provided by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics, Census Bureau, Bureau of Economic Analysis, National Center for Education Statistics, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Environmental Protection Agency, American Medical Association, Dartmouth Atlas Project and Trust for America's Health.
What were the results? Which states were the unhealthiest? Louisiana was the most unhealthy state, followed at the bottom by Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
Which were the healthiest? Vermont was the healthiest state for the second consecutive year. Hawaii, New Hampshire, Minnesota and Utah round out the top five healthiest states.
It is hard to say what these results mean for RT. Any ideas?
