  • Northwell Health partnered with Stacker to examine data from the CDC's 2023 PLACES report and identified counties with the most physically active adults.

The article from MSN discusses the varying levels of physical activity among Michigan residents, highlighting which areas of the state are considered "healthy hotspots" due to higher rates of physical activity. It references data from the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute's County Health Rankings, which show that counties like Washtenaw, Ottawa, and Grand Traverse have the highest rates of physical activity. These areas benefit from community resources like parks, trails, and fitness centers, as well as initiatives promoting health and wellness. Conversely, counties such as Wayne, Saginaw, and Genesee report lower activity levels, often due to socioeconomic factors, lack of access to recreational facilities, and urban challenges. The article also touches on the broader implications of physical activity on health outcomes, suggesting that active communities tend to have lower rates of obesity, heart disease, and other chronic conditions.
