KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) -- A new study of Kansans' health puts Gove County first and Wyandotte last among the state's 105 counties.
The rankings are the first by the Kansas Health Institute, which looked at more than two dozen indicators. They ranged from seat belt use and binge drinking to social and economic factors such as poverty.
Rounding out the top five after Gove County in northwest Kansas were Sheridan, Johnson, Greeley and Logan counties.
In addition to Wyandotte County, the bottom five included Woodson, Geary, Labette and Montgomery counties.
The Kansas Health Institute says it expects to have periodic updates on the Kansas County Health Rankings.
