America's Healthiest Metros
In the spirit of the New Year, a look at how U.S. cities stack up on measures like obesity and smoking
The New Year brings with it a renewed commitment to health and fitness. People across the country hit the gym, take up new diets and quit smoking to get in shape.
In that spirit, I looked at variation in health and fitness across the country. I didn't want to use fleeting indicators like gym memberships or the amount of running gear sold, but more systematic measures of levels of actual health and fitness.
