Health map of the UK: Healthiest and unhealthiest places to work
London has the healthiest workers while Wales fares the worst, according to a new UK health map based on data on a combination of lifestyle choices and clinical outcomes of 10,000 employees across the country. The map, produced by PruHealth with Vitality and Mercer as part of the Britain’s Healthiest Company* report, shows that where people live and work really does have an impact on health.
The study analyzed lifestyle, behavioral and clinical risk factors including weight, diet, exercise, smoking, alcohol intake, stress, cholesterol and blood glucose levels, blood pressure as well as how often people attend health screenings to monitor and understand their health.
