3 Percent of Americans Live a Healthy Lifestyle
A study conducted by Michigan State University and the Michigan Department of Community Health found that only a small percentage of Americans are living a healthy lifestyle.
Researchers identified four basic habits commonly associated with better long term health. These include not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, and engaging in regular physical activity.
Based on these measures, only about three percent of adults met all four criteria.
The study analyzed survey data from more than 153,000 adults across all fifty states. Researchers looked at fruit and vegetable intake and levels of regular physical activity.
Key findings included:
- Seventy six percent did not smoke
- Forty percent maintained a healthy weight
- Twenty three percent ate five or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily
- Twenty two percent engaged in at least thirty minutes of moderate exercise five times per week
The findings highlight the importance of preventive lifestyle habits in reducing chronic health risks.
