They formed a sequence of healthprofiles in the form of a four-pole barycentric model ofbalanced, composite dimensions. It was found thatdeveloped countries dominate according to the integratedvalue of the four dimensions. It indicates their significanteconomic, social, and medical opportunities for thepopulation. According to the balance of dimension pairs,behavioral determinants influence the imbalance fordeveloped countries, the health care determinants - fornew industrial states. The pair of socio-economicdevelopment is the most critical for developing and theleast developed countries. According to the resiliencelevel, such countries as Ireland, Luxembourg, Iceland,Switzerland, Denmark, Greece, Australia were identified.As a result, Norway’s health profile was found to be themost effective four-pole barycentric model withcomposite dimension efficiency, dimension pair balance,and stability level.
