A new report shows it's not only what you put into your body that affects your health -- it's where you live. Top 25 healthiest states in America United Health Foundation unveiled its 22nd annual America's Health Rankings on Tuesday that provided a national look at health problems -- and progress -- in all 50 states. Researchers pulled data from agencies which included the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Census Bureau and American Medical Association to come up with the annual list. This year's health rankings found that Americans are living longer, but according to Dr. Reed Tuckson, chief of medical affairs for United Health Group, many are living sicker.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
