Your health and fitness can be determined by a surprising number of factors including your age, financial status and even the city you live in. A survey conducted by Spotahome showed which cities are home to the healthiest people in the world. Health was measured using ten factors including work-life balance, amount of fast food outlets and life expectancy. So which city do you think will be the healthiest? Have any cities sprung to mind so far?
