How the Health Risks Score Is Calculated

The overall score is a weighted average across ten indicators. Nomadino calculates: health risks score = life expectancy × 0.18 + infectious diseases × 0.14 + infant mortality × 0.12 + mental health × 0.12 + maternal mortality × 0.10 + vaccination rate × 0.10 + obesity rate × 0.08 + suicide rate × 0.06 + alcohol and tobacco consumption × 0.05 + drug and substance-use burden × 0.05.

  • Life expectancy: 18%
  • Infectious diseases: 14%
  • Infant mortality: 12%
  • Mental health: 12%
  • Maternal mortality: 10%
  • Vaccination rate: 10%
  • Obesity rate: 8%
  • Suicide rate: 6%
  • Alcohol and tobacco consumption: 5%
  • Drug and substance-use burden: 5%

Nomadino uses the normalized indicator score on a 0 to 100 scale, where higher means better health conditions or lower health risk. Life expectancy receives the highest weight because it is the broadest outcome indicator and reflects many long-term health, safety and living-condition factors. Infectious diseases, infant mortality and maternal mortality are weighted strongly because they are hard and internationally comparable signals for public health, care quality and prevention.

Mental health is also weighted clearly because it strongly affects quality of life, care needs and long-term burden. Vaccination coverage counts as an important protection and prevention factor. Obesity, suicide rate, alcohol and tobacco consumption, and drug and substance-use burden remain included, but receive lower weights so individual lifestyle or substance risks do not dominate the overall score. If an indicator is removed with the checkbox, Nomadino divides by the sum of the remaining weights, preserving the relative importance of the active indicators.
