This infographic was developed utilizing data from the 2015 American Fitness Index (AFI) report from the American College of Sports Medicine in partnership with the Anthem Foundation.  The AFI program revolves around an annual data report published in May.

The AFI data report measures the 50 most populous metropolitan areas in the United States and provides a score and ranking reflecting a composite of preventive health behaviors, levels of chronic disease conditions, health care access, and community resources and policies that support physical activity. This infographic highlights revelations made in the 2015 report.

With the help of this report, municipalities, community groups, health organizations and individual citizens can assess factors contributing to their metro area’s level of fitness, health and quality of life. The report is also an evaluation tool for measuring progress at the community level.
