An Analysis of the Health Performance of G7 Countries: An Application Using the LPI-HI-Based DNMA Method

Aim: The purpose of this study is to analyze the health performance of G7 countries. Materials and Methods: In the study, the health performances of G7 countries were measured using the most recent and up-to-date 2023 Legatum Prosperity Index-Health Indicator (LPI-HI) data and the LPI-HI-based DNMA multi-criteria decision-making method (MCDM). Results: The health performance rankings of the countries, based on the LPI-HI-based DNMA method, have been identified as France, UK, Canada, Italy, USA, Germany, and Japan. It was also observed that only France and the UK have health performances exceeding the average performance value. Additionally, according to the sensitivity analysis of the LPI-HI based DNMA MCDM method, it was found to be sensitive; according to the comparative analysis, it was credible and reliable; and according to the simulation analysis, it was robust and stable. Conclusion: It is believed that Canada, Italy, the USA, Germany, and Japan, which have health performances below the average value, need to improve their health performance to contribute more significantly to the global economy. Methodologically, the sensitivity, comparative, and simulation analysis results indicate that the health performances of G7 countries can be measured using the 2023 LPI-HI criteria with the LPI-HI-based DNMA method.
