1 Population is the United States Census 2010 data.
2 Study Participants represents the total number of MapMyFitness users with complete datasets (BMI, Height, Weight, Workouts, Routes, Food Logging, plus a number of additional criteria) in that location minus any users that have their location protected for privacy reasons.
3 MapMyFitness Members represents the total number of MapMyFitness members in that location minus any users that have their location protected for privacy reasons.
4 Overweight & Obese Index (oO-Idx) is the combined overweight BMI and obese BMI percentages for a location. The higher the Overweight & Obese Index is, the more overweight and obese the user sample of the population is.
5 FoF Activity Index (a-Idx) is a proprietary MapMyFitness index based on the locations activity level, percentage population engagement, and other factors. The higher the Activity Index is in relation to another location, the more fit (and active) that location is.
** Results have been updated to include a correction to previously run data. Current Index is based on a rolling 13month period and includes cities that were erroneously missing in the originally published data.
