Reply to comment by AskMoreQuestionsOk in The advantages of living in cities for children and adolescents’ healthy growth and development are shrinking across much of the world, according to new study. by chrisdh79

This is a global study, it's including poverty stricken farmers in africa/india/Indonesia etc. This trend was seen in "all but a few wealthy countries", so if you grew up in a wealthy country that provides decent access to schooling/nutrition etc for its more rural population then more than likely what you suggest is true.

At least in western Europe you tend to see more unhealthy habits in the countryside. They also live shorter lives on average.
