BLOOMBERG RANKINGS - THE WORLD'S HEALTHIEST COUNTRIES
http://images.businessweek.com/bloomberg/pdfs/WORLDS_HEALTHIEST_COUNTRIES_V2.pdf

To identify the healthiest countries in the world, Bloomberg Rankings created health scores and health-risk scores for countries with populations of at least 1 million.

We subtracted the risk score from the health score to determine the country's rank. Five-year averages, when available, were used to mitigate some of the short-term year-over-year swings.
