Craig Schneider reports that Metro Atlanta is among the healthiest areas to live in the state, according to a report released Wednesday by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The metro area -- in particular the counties of Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb and Gwinnett -- ranked among the top counties in the state for health outcomes such as long life, as well as health factors such as access to health facilities.
Gwinnett and Cobb ranked especially high in the category of long life, coming in at fourth and fifth, respectively, in a comparison of 157 of the state's 159 counties. DeKalb ranked 13th and Fulton was 22nd.
Metro Atlanta counties also ranked consistently high in the area of health behaviors, which measured smoking, diet and exercise, alcohol use and risky sex behavior. Cobb and Fulton came in at No. 2 and No. 4, respectively. Gwinnett was seventh and DeKalb was 16th.
