Men’s Health magazine has once again selected Madison, Wis., as its best city for men.  This ranking was based on 37 factors related to health, fitness and quality of life. This includes the prevalence of heart disease, cancer and other “man killers,” as well as ratio of single men to single women.

Madison improved from its No. 2 ranking a year ago. Wrote Men’s Health: “The city has the most number one finishes in the history of our metropolitan melee.” (Madison was previously No. 1 in 2009.)

But that’s not all. The magazine also has ranked Madison No. 1 in other categories, which come out each issue:

• Safest place for children
• Most charitable
• Best teeth
• Least armed and dangerous
• Best rested

I’m somewhat surprised that no local media write about this. If anything, area chambers of commerce, UW and the local colleges, the convention and visitors bureau and other organizations that want to attract people to this city should be touting this info.
