New Yorkers may be living longer since Mayor Bloomberg took office — but they’re not feeling any better.
More than one in five Big Apple residents — 22 percent — report being in fair or poor health, according to a city Health Department analysis obtained by The Post.
And the unhealthy rate hasn’t changed much over the past decade, despite Bloomberg’s crusades against smoking, salt, trans fats and sugary drinks.
In 2002, about 20 percent of city residents said they felt crummy.
“During the past decade, the prevalence of New York City adults who rated their health as fair or poor has remained stable — fluctuating slightly between 20 percent and 22 percent,” the Health Department analysis said.
The new figures are from the 2011 Community Health Survey.
The “How’m I feeling?” query also showed that about one in five New York adults (19 percent) rated their health as excellent, one in four (26 percent) as “very good” and one in three (34 percent) as “good.”
Staten Island residents were deemed the most fit, with only 13 percent rating their health as fair or poor. Manhattanites rated second best, with just 16 percent calling themselves unhealthy.
Conversely, about one-quarter of residents (26 percent) in both The Bronx and Brooklyn said they were in declining health. In Queens, 22 percent said so.
The health rates varied by age, income and race/ethnicity.
About one-third of Hispanics (34 percent) and Asians (31 percent) reported unfavorable health, compared with 12 percent for whites and 19 percent for blacks.
As for income, the unhealthy rate was 28 percent in the poorest neighborhoods, compared with 13 percent in the wealthiest ones. And foreign-born residents were much more likely to report unfavorable health than residents born here: 29 percent to 17 percent.
There’s also an education disparity: 43 percent of residents without a high-school degree were unhealthy, compared with just 13 percent of college graduates.
These findings clash with the well-publicized study showing that the life expectancy of Gotham residents had increased over the past two decades by eight years — to a dignified 80.6 years.
Health Department officials said the results of the well-being survey bolster the Bloomberg administration’s ongoing campaign to alter unhealthy behavior, particularly in poor neighborhoods.
