Less than three percent of American adults are living even a basic healthy lifestyle.
That's the finding from a study that tried to find out how many people follow just four simple principles of healthy living: a good diet, keeping body fat under control, moderate exercise, and not smoking.
Researchers found that just 2.7 percent of adults meet these standards, meaning that over 97 percent do not.
The study was conducted by researchers from Oregon State University and the University of Mississippi.
A senior author on the study called the results "sort of mind-boggling."
