I've just read the Executive Summary. My first thought was, "Well, that's
safe!" It's not going to galvanize anyone to action, that's for sure. Among
the findings are a higher proportion of people with low income and poor
diet, and higher death rates due to circulatory disease, injuries and suicides.
Yet here's the summary:
"Findings reported in this study concerning health-related factors, such as
higher proportions of smokers, lower consumption of fruit and vegetables and
higher proportion of individuals who are overweight among rural residents,
suggest that there may be potential in rural-friendly approaches in disease
prevention and health promotion."
How's that for bold?
