The National Public Health and Hospital Institute has released a report that compares several indicators of living conditions to the health of U.S. residents in
various urban settings. The report shows at least a 25 percent decline in the AIDS rates of most metropolitan areas and a significant decline in syphilis in the nation's 25
largest cities. The incidence of tuberculosis has declined by up to 68 percent in some of the country's largest urban areas, including Miami, New York, and Los Angeles.
The study's authors attribute many of the changes to managed care.
