A few days ago I started a thread based on articles I'd seen saying that this is the best place to live, and that we're the smartest people in the country. (Not that I necessarily agree with any of it.)
//www.city-data.com/forum/massa...all-smart.html

Now I just saw another listing which said we're among the healthiest people in the country--though we have to settle for 3rd place there, after Hawaii and Vermont. And if you wonder, the 3 worst states are all in the South: Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas.
The most (and least) healthy states

These scores were based on a number of measures that fall into two separate categories: health determinants and health outcomes. Determinants were further divided into behaviors, such as smoking and drinking; community and environmental factors, such as children living in poverty; policy factors, such as public health funding and immunization rates; and clinical care factors, such as the availability of dentists and doctors. Outcomes included rates of death from cancer and cardiovascular diseases, as well as infant mortality rates. Additionally, we also reviewed supplementary data provided by America's Health Rankings, including economic factors such as median household income based on the U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey.
