Chicago has grabbed top honors in a recently compiled list by popular male online haunt, AskMen.com as the most health-friendly city for men. For men who wish to stay healthy and aspire for a disease-free atmosphere, Chicago is the place to go.

Barack Obama's home city headed the list of Top 29 cities for men around the world, reports Fox News.

Spanish city Barcelona came at the second spot, while San Francisco took the third position owing to its 3,480 acres of parks and three golf courses.

London and Sydney took the fourth and fifth positions, respectively.

Compiled by AskMen.com, the list was made on the basis of metrics like money, women and success, but it mainly focussed on how healthy the city was.

Apart form good health, the website also looked at the best places for dating and sex, sports and entertainment, and even the cheapest places to buy a beer.

When life expectancy was taken as a criterion to rank the cities, Japanese capital Tokyo ruled the roost.
