Cambodia is Number 10 on World's Most Healthy Countries "Wellness Index"
According to this latest "report", Cambodia is rated as 10th in the world's most healthy countries by Indigo Wellness Index 2019, which raises some questions about how this index was measured and who provided the statistics.
They say the ten key measures used are: Blood pressure, Blood glucose, obesity, depression, happiness, alcohol use, tobacco use, exercise, healthy life expectancy, and government spending on healthcare. Comments ?
GLOBAL HEALTH INDEX: THE TOP 25 COUNTRIES
The Indigo Wellness Index tracks the world’s healthiest countries across ten key measures. The Index is one of the first comprehensive global wellness indices to be published, covering over 150 countries, compared to the existing OECD index, which aggregates data from fewer than 50 countries. The Indigo Wellness Index draws on findings as diverse as the World Health Organisation, the World Happiness Report, and public health data.
The Indigo Wellness Index focuses on ten key metrics: Blood pressure, Blood glucose, obesity, depression, happiness, alcohol use, tobacco use, exercise, healthy life expectancy, and government spending on healthcare. Canada scores highest in the ranking, with Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden also coming near the top – whilst the UK only ranks at 16.The US and Japan also score surprisingly low, and sit outside the top 25, held back by poor scores on obesity and blood pressure.The UK, with the fifth highest GDP ranking globally, comes in at 16th place, while the Maldives comes in at fourth place despite having a lower GDP ranking of 169th place.
This chart shows clearly that although there are countries in the Top 25 and in the G20 with a high GDP (and hence high healthcare spending), this does not translate into positive lifestyle factors, with rich countries experiencing high rates of depression and obesity.

I had a look over the information and still feel somewhat baffled. I can understand Canada being up there but the rest seem random as hell.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
