Advertiser Staff

Hawai�i had the lowest cancer diagnosis rate in the nation last year with only 4.3 percent of residents reporting they�d been diagnosed with the disease, according to the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index.

People in Maine, South Dakota, and Florida are more than twice as likely to report having been diagnosed with cancer than those in Hawai�i, according to the report. Florida had the nation�s highest rate at 8.9 percent.
