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!
