A study ranks South Carolina as one of the ten most unhealthy states in the nation.

Each year United Health Foundation, paid for by United Health Group, measures residents on 22 activities such as smoking and exercising, deaths and violent crimes.

South Carolina is 41 on the list. Last year the state was 46th out of 50. The Palmetto State is also one of the worse when it comes to the number of diabetes cases.
