Another Poor Health Rating for Alabama
Only Mississippi is lower ranked.
The report comes from “Stateline”, a project of the Pew Charitable Trusts.
It names Hawaii as the healthiest state and Mississippi as the least healthy, But Alabama is right behind our neighbor state to the West, ranked 50th.
They report:
“VCU and the Urban Institute recently released the first of nine reports examining the states according to 39 health outcomes, such as heart disease mortality, cancer mortality and suicides. The project also seeks to correlate 123 social or economic factors such as government spending, proficiency in reading, and rate of incarcerations and health conditions. (The report doesn’t offer explanations for the correlations.) The authors say the report examines more measures than any previous state comparison.”
