"For Americans trying to choose where to settle down - whether for retirement, remote work, or a major lifestyle reset - the connection between geography and a healthy life matters more than ever. Research consistently shows that where you live influences your health through environmental quality, access to care, social connection, and daily lifestyle patterns. It's one reason interest keeps rising in states known for clean air, outdoor recreation, and low-stress living - places like Hawaii, which repeatedly ranks at the top for life expectancy."
"Hawaii. This tropical state in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is one of the most popular holiday destinations for Americans, and it's no surprise why. Whether enjoying white sands at a luxurious beachfront hotel in Maui, experiencing Oahu's most thrilling surf breaks, or hiking around a crowd-free beach state park on the Island of Hawai'i, visitors are spoiled for outdoor activity and a restorative lifestyle."
Geography influences health through environmental quality, access to care, social connection, and daily lifestyle patterns. States known for clean air, outdoor recreation, and low-stress living often show higher life expectancy. Hawaii ranks at the top for life expectancy and offers abundant outdoor activities, restorative lifestyle, and a year-round health-conscious culture that appears to add years to residents' lives. Several Southern states—Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and West Virginia—rank at the bottom for life expectancy, often because of high chronic disease rates, socioeconomic disparities, and limited access to preventive care. Choosing a residence can align living environment with health goals.
