The Three Healthiest States…And The Three Unhealthiest
You might feel healthy – but how does the rest of your state shape up?
The United Health Foundation recently issued a report that ranked all 50 states individually for overall healthiness. The report judged each state’s health using measures such as premature death rates; number of cardiovascular deaths; prevalence of obesity; low percentages of uninsured people, crime, infant mortality, motor vehicle deaths, adequate prenatal care and more.

2005’s Top Three Unhealthiest States
