Where Can You Live Longer
Determining exactly what makes a city healthy for men is a fairly daunting task and admittedly a tad subjective. The number of criteria under consideration will most certainly vary which is why you’ll notice that no two rankings of healthiest cities will ever be the same. Keeping that in mind, taking the most macro view on the matter, you may want to take a quick look at male life expectancies.
Life Expectancy and Burden of Disease are just a couple of things but looking at measures such as life expectancy or rates of disease can weave a complex web of information, often too difficult to entangle. This is why detailed surveys on a whole range of topics are constructed to determine what makes a city healthy.
In these surveys, diverse measures such as the number of parks, access to medical care, rates of smoking and so on, are all taken into account to rank a city’s healthy environment. One of the largest such surveys is the Worldwide Health and Sanitation Ranking (last reported in 2007) conducted by Mercer Human Resource Consulting.
