List of U.S. states by changes in life expectancy, 1985–2010
This article ranks states of the United States sorted by changes in the life expectancy of their residents between 1985 and 2010. Changes in the life expectancy of men and women in each state are also sorted. States are also ranked for three risk factors controllable by the individual: obesity, smoking, and physical activity.
The data is taken from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, an independent global health research center at the University of Washington.

Controllable risk factors
This list ranks U.S. states for three factors, controllable by the individual: obesity, smoking, and physical activity. These factors affect longevity: obesity and smoking reduce longevity and a higher level of physical activity increases longevity.
