American Health was an American magazine devoted to health, and has been called "one of the fastest-growing magazines of the 1980s".[1]
T George Harris and Owen J. Lipstein established American Health in 1981.[2][3] The first issue appeared in March 1982.[4] Its editors have included Stephen Kiesling, T George Harris and Joel Gurin.[5][6] The magazine was acquired by the Reader's Digest Association in 1990.[7] The readers of the magazine were mostly women.[8] In May 1984 the frequency of the magazine switched to monthly.[4]
According to an abstract, Madison Avenue magazine reported in 1986 that American Health had an "upbeat and informative" tone and boasted of a circulation of 85,000.[9] The last issue of American Health was published in October 1999.[7] Then, its trademark and circulation assets had been acquired by Time Warner's Health magazine.[7][10]
American Health received the National Magazine Award for General Excellence (400,000 to 1,000,000 circulation) from the American Society of Magazine Editors in 1985, and was a finalist in that category in 1984, as well as being a finalist for the Public Interest award in 1991.[5] The magazine won two American Psychological Association National Media Awards and a Sidney Hillman Foundation prize.[1]
