舊金山被評為美國“最健康城市”

San Francisco is famous for its steep hills and fresh food, so it may come as no surprise that it wins the honor as the fittest city in the United States, according to a new report.

San Francisco is famous for its steep hills and fresh food, so it may come as no surprise that it wins the honor as the fittest city in the United States, according to a new report.

San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area narrowly edged out Seattle in the first American Fitness Index released last week by the American College of Sports Medicine and the WellPoint Foundation.

Nearly 32 percent of San Franciscans eat five or more fruits and vegetables per day, the study showed. Residents are more likely to have health insurance, less likely to have chronic health problems and less likely to smoke.

The Bay Area also scored well for parks and athletic facilities and had an above-average number of commuters who bike, walk or use public transportation.

Researchers from Indiana University School of Family Medicine analyzed data from the U.S. Census, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and other information to compile the report.

"This report issues a call to action to improve the overall health, fitness and quality of life in the United States," Walt Thompson, the chair of the AFI Advisory Board, said in a statement.

Rounding out the five fittest cities of the 16 most populated metropolitan cities were Boston, followed by Washington D.C. and Atlanta.

Cities that rely heavily on the automobile, like Houston and Los Angeles, fared poorly in the fitness ranking.

But it was the Motor City, Detroit, that rolled into last place.

一份最新調查報告顯示,舊金山被評為美國“最健康的城市”。舊金山以其險峻的山巒和鮮美的食物而著名,所以獲此殊榮并不奇怪。

美國運動醫學院及Wellpoint基金會于上周聯合發布了美國首份健康指數報告。報告顯示,舊金山及其周邊的灣區以微弱優勢擊敗西雅圖,榮登健康指數榜首位。

調查顯示,舊金山近32%的市民每天攝入五份或五份以上的水果和蔬菜;那里的人更愿意擁有健康保險,患慢性疾病的幾率較低,吸煙的人也相對較少。

舊金山灣區在公園及運動設施方面的得分也較高,而且該地區騎自行車、步行或乘公交上下班的通勤者數量高于調查平均值。

這份報告是印第安納大學家庭醫學院的研究人員在對來自美國人口普查局、疾病防控中心的行為風險因素監控系統及其他信息渠道的數據進行綜合分析后撰寫的。

AFI咨詢理事會主席沃特?湯普森在一份聲明中稱:“這份報告向全美國人民發出行動號召:增進全面健康,提高生活質量。

除舊金山和西雅圖外,美國16個人口最密集的大都市中躋身該榜前五名的還包括波士頓、華盛頓和亞特蘭大。

休斯敦和洛杉磯等大量使用機動車的城市在健康榜上的排名比較靠后。

不過排在最后一位的是“汽車城”底特律。
