2025 Global Edition

As individuals seek better lives and societies aim to build healthier systems, understanding where health thrives—and why—has never been more urgent. Most global rankings focus on economics or development, but miss the core question: how well does a place support human well-being?

This whitepaper introduces the Five Pillars Index—G.O.A.L.’s global benchmarking model based on Nutrition, Movement, Knowledge, Mindset, and Environment.

Evaluating regions through a first-principles and systems-thinking lens, the Index offers a new way to assess quality of life—holistically, practically, and with the future in mind.

Why Global Health Demands a New Vision

In today’s world, the state of human health has reached a critical juncture. Across every aspect of well-being—physical, mental, and environmental—the challenges we face are unprecedented. These stark realities underline the urgency of rethinking how we approach health globally:

01

In the last three decades, obesity rates have surged globally, contributing to a dramatic rise in related health complications.

03

Physical inactivity is now recognized as one of the leading risk factors for death globally, causing an estimated 3.2 million deaths annually.

05

Approximately 2.2 billion people worldwide lack access to safely managed drinking water services.

02

Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for approximately 18.6 million deaths annually.

04

Mental disorders account for 1 in 6 years lived with disability globally.

06

This merely is just the tip of the iceberg.

This interconnected crisis demands a new, holistic approach to health—one that addresses these challenges as a unified system. At G.O.A.L., we are committed to driving transformative change by integrating innovation, strategy, and action to build a healthier future for all.
