About health and wellbeing
Health and wellbeing rankings, explained
Health and wellbeing on Top10Earth: Life expectancy, hospitals, habits and the health of nations, ranked from public health data. This category currently holds 73 live rankings, each one built from a single public data source, measured by one clearly named metric and refreshed on its own schedule. The most recent update in the category was on 2026-11-02.
Who leads right now: North Korea tops Countries drinking the largest share of their alcohol as spirits with 96.77 %; Tuvalu tops Countries spending the largest share of GDP on health with 27.09 % of GDP; Croatia tops Countries spending the most on alcohol and tobacco as a share of expenditure with 7.89 %; United States tops Countries spending the most on health per person with 13.5k US$; Tuvalu tops Countries spending the most on public health as a share of GDP with 19.72 % of GDP; Cambodia tops Countries where most people agree vaccines are safe with 97 %. Open any ranking for the full top 10, the complete table behind it and a chart of how positions have moved.
Recent movement across the category: United States is the new #1. Somalia, Fed. Rep. entered the top 10 at #2. Every movement is calculated by comparing two published snapshots, never estimated.
Metrics used here include Spirits share of alcohol consumption, Health expenditure, Alcohol and tobacco spending share, Health spending per capita, Government health spending and Agree vaccines are safe. Each ranking page explains precisely what its metric counts, which source it comes from and what caveats apply, so two rankings that sound similar can be told apart. Entries link to profile pages that gather every ranking an entry appears in, and any two entries in the same ranking can be compared head to head.
Top10Earth never estimates or edits a value: each number is fetched from its source, hashed, stored and ranked by software, then checked by a quality gate before it is published. If a refresh fails the gate, the previous snapshot stays live and the problem is reviewed by a person. Want to test what you know? Every ranking in health and wellbeing has a three-minute quiz: name all ten, share your score and dare someone to beat it.
