(INDIANAPOLIS) - When it comes to being happy and healthy, Alaska is best, while West Virginia is the worst, according to this year’s Gallup Healthways Well-being Index.
Indiana isn't far ahead of of West Virginia. The Hoosier State ranks 48th in terms of the happiest states.
The index is based on more than 176,000 phone interviews with people from all 50 states.
It measures how people feel about their daily lives and overall health.
Hawaii, South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana finished just behind Alaska as best for well-being.
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky joined West Virginia at the bottom.
