HTN: Buffalo Ranked in Fitness Survey

Buffalo ranks in the middle of two new rankings of health and fitness. Buffalo is listed as 49th out of 100 major cities of conditions for men by "Men's Health" magazine. A "Women's Health" magazine article puts Buffalo in 53rd for health and fitness. The magazines looked at 38 factors, such as air quality, cancer rates, and the number of gym memberships. The focus was cities, not metropolitan areas. The best place for women was Salt Lake City, Utah, and the best place for men was Madison, Wisconsin. Ranking at the bottom of the mens list was Charleston, West Virginia, while Bakersfield, California is no good for women.
