Despite large expenditures on healthcare and medical technology, the United States still ranks 32nd in the world for life expectancy. The missing piece is the impact of factors such as housing quality, exposure to pollutants, food quality, and the lack of exercise--which leads to high obesity rates. Prepared by the Committee on Health Impact Assessment, this detailed work looks at integrating the possible effects on health into factors such as decisions over land use and provision of transportation options. The book closes with six appendixes, including a dictionary and a summary of health impact assessment guides. No index is provided. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
