West Virginians Most Medicated

A study by Forbes magazine says West Virginia is the most medicated state in the country.
The study says the average WV resident fills about 18.4 prescriptions each year. The national average is 11.6. The mountain state also ranked No. 1 last year.
The study suggests one reason may be that West Virginia residents are generally older and less healthy than those in other states. The state has the nation's highest rates for smoking, arthritis and population of those who are obese or overweight.
