Description
Aydın and Özkan rank low- and middle-income countries by heart disease risk factors, in a 2024 decision science paper. Heart and vessel disease is a leading killer, and prevention starts with knowing which risks dominate where. The authors set 22 criteria and weighted them with a fuzzy form of the analytic hierarchy process, which handles vague expert judgments. A second method, TOPSIS, then ranked the countries against the weighted criteria.
Metabolic, behavioral, and economic factors weighed most heavily. Among adults, tobacco use stood out as the top risk factor. Lebanon, Jordan, the Solomon Islands, Serbia, and Bulgaria ranked highest in risk, while Timor-Leste, Benin, Ghana, Niger, and Ethiopia ranked lowest. The authors urge the highest-ranked countries to act on the risks they can change.
