The Centrum Healthiest Cities Study is the first-ever comprehensive "health report card" of the 50 largest metro areas in the U.S. that’s based on key factors including health status, nutrition and exercise, plus mental health and life balance, which contribute to overall well-being.

According to the report card, in the nationwide battle for healthiest cities, the West easily trumps the East. California boasts five cities in the top 10: San Jose, San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento and the Orange County area. Read more about these top cities and others that made the list.

In one of the few negative areas, residents here did report one of the study’s highest rates of asthma.
