Tulsa Community Fails in State Report for Healthy Adults and Tells Highest Death Causes for Tulsa Citizens

By Abby Hickman

 The community of Tulsa has made the USA record book this year for being a member of the top ten counties with the highest amount of physically inactive adults at 27% according to OK.gov’s 2014 statistics.

On a continued sour note, Tulsa scores 61% higher in suicide rates then the rest of the nation. Heart disease, cancer, and chronic lower respiratory disease are the highest causes of death in Tulsa County.

Improvements have been shown in regards to a 21% improvement from stroke rates in 2013 for Oklahoma residents.


Lets get our county healthier through living more active lifestyles and choosing better foods for our bodies!
