The 2017 American Health Rankings have been recently released. This is an annual report published by the United Health Foundation, which has been issued for 28 consecutive years. The report also paints a vivid "health map of the United States."
Take a look at the map below; is your state healthy? This "health map" might also serve as an investment blueprint for your future life in the United States:

Measured by 35 Indicators Across Five Categories
Based on the World Health Organization's definition of health—that "health is not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and the ability to adapt"—the report constructs a big data analysis model. The ranking is determined by indicators across five categories, including 35 measurement elements such as health behaviors, community and environment, health policies, clinical care, and health outcomes, covering factors like air pollution, drug overdose, alcohol abuse, smoking, obesity rates, child poverty, and cancer mortality rates.
The report indicates that the United States faces severe public health challenges in 2017, including rising rates of premature death and drug-related mortality, as well as imbalances in healthcare provision across states. The report provides an important reference for state and federal government departments to identify public health development trends and take improvement actions.
In the past 28 years of health reports, Massachusetts ranked first for the first time in the 2017 American Health Rankings annual report. Its metrics include the lowest percentage of uninsured population, low obesity rates, and high mental health indices. Over the past five years, Hawaii had consistently held the top spot.
