The U.S. is the unhealthiest country globally because of its high obesity rate and the heart disease, diabetes, and other illnesses that go along with it. America has one of the highest rates of obesity in the world—and it's not just adults who are getting heavier and heavier: childhood obesity is also a problem.
The U.S. has highest rate of disease burden among comparable countries, and the gap is growing - Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker.
According to the 2019 Bloomberg Healthiest Country Index, the U.S. ranks 35th out of 169 countries. Even though we are the 11th wealthiest country in the world, we are behind pretty much all developed economies in terms of health.
The Czech Republic is one of the unhealthiest countries due to its high alcohol consumption, tobacco consumption, and obesity, all of which are some of the most common reasons of death in the state. The consumption of pure alcohol is calculated as 14.4 liters per person per year in Czechia.
Madagascar #122. Madagascar had the WORST SCORE in terms of food quality. An average of 79% of people's consumption is derived from nutrient-poor cereals, roots and tubers, compared to a global average of 47%. It also tied with India in the THIRD WORST POSITION for undernourishment levels.
Regardless of the reason, Czechs consume more beer per capita than any other country in the world – and they have a unique drinking culture to match.

Japan. The highest life expectancy in the world is found in Japan, where the average lifespan is 84 years. It is thought that the Japanese diet, intense physical exercise, and easy access to high-quality healthcare are important causes.
Australia ranks first among OECD countries for equity and healthcare outcomes, and holds third place for overall healthcare performance, behind Norway and the Netherlands.
Australia's health system is one of the best in the world, providing safe and affordable health care for all Australians. It is jointly run by all levels of Australian government – federal, state and territory, and local.
“Australia's combination of public and private health coverage makes it one of the very best systems in the world,” Mr Fleming said. “The health system in the United States is more complex and can be much more expensive, often leaving many without the right level of cover or no cover at all.
