Swaziland has come last in a study of the healthiest
nations in the world.
The kingdom came bottom out of 145 countries in the
World’s Healthiest Countries report published by Bloomberg. Data for the report
was compiled from the United Nations, the World Bank and the World Health
Organisation.
The Bloomberg
rankings gave each country with a population of 1
million or more a health score and a health-risk score.
Each country’s place was calculated by subtracting
their risk score from their health score.
The health score is based on factors such as life
expectancy from birth and causes of death, while health-risk is based on
factors which could impede health such as the proportion of young people who
smoke, the number of people with raised cholesterol and the number of
immunisations.
