The results are then divided by gross domestic product to create a more level playing field.
Data comes from international organizations such as the United Nations, the World Bank and the World Health Organization.
Armenia’s neighbor Georgia is placed 57th, Turkey and Azerbaijan are ranked 38th and 89th respectively. Iran is placed 131st.
