The United Health Foundation released its annual report on America's Health Rankings for the year 2014 and found that Latinos had the highest rate of binge drinking, physical inactivity and obesity.

Fox News Latino reported that among all ethnic groups, the United Health Foundation annual report on America's Health Rankings proved that Latinos had the lowest percentage of people that qualify as having high health status.

"Obesity, physical inactivity and nutrition are, according to the CDC, battles that can be won," Russ Bennet, a spokesman for UHF, told Fox News Latino.

"By providing the Hispanic community with the information they need to properly navigate the healthcare system and increasing their knowledge about their health and the effects of lifestyle choices, the Hispanic community can work towards closing the gap with other ethnicities."

Yet, Latinos are among the lowest ethnic group that suffers from cancer and heart-related death rates as well as drug-related deaths.

Bennett said, "Consider that Hispanics in general are traditionally lower users of medical services compared to the rest of the population, [so] it is possible that their access to these medications is much lower than other ethnic groups."

He also pointed out that, "It is important to note that last year cancer took over as the number one killer among Latinos over cardiovascular disease, so it is something that we should keep a watchful eye on."

Hawaii is on the top list for one of the healthiest states. Since UHF started the study in 1990, the big island has made it on the list of the top six healthy states without missing a beat.

Since then, New York and Vermont have improved their health ranking.

The report ranks each state on its number of health issues like obesity, smoking rates, the amount of children born in poverty and more.
