Study: 3 counties top health charts | LoHud.com
The expensive health club memberships and smoking bans have paid off — Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties rank among the healthiest in the state, according to a new study.
Putnam clinched the top spot for the healthiest county in New York as measured by length of life and quality of health; Westchester ranked No. 1 on a list that looked at health behaviors like exercising, not smoking and eating well. Rockland was ranked in the top 10 for both.
The national study released Wednesday by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin compares every county within each of the 50 states. The county-to-county comparison showed in most cases some of the healthiest and unhealthiest counties were right near each other.
