Well crap, looks like I need to find a new city. Though if I'm not mistaken most of those in the top 10 are really richie cities.

Why just men? I think exercise, employment, air quality, heart disease, diabetes and depression are all important factors for the well-being of women as well.

Yes, but women have magical healing powers. We think. The research is still unclear.

Not reported in the article is how the broader study found East St. Louis slipping to #300 in the listings.

I would assume that they only examined a male population in areas where that was feasible, and anyway it's Men's Health magazine. Of course they're going to set things up around the assumption that their readers are male.
