RANKING AS THE HAPPIEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
Canada came in in 10th place in the overall ranking.
Finland took the number one spot followed by Denmark, Switzerland and Iceland.
According to the report, the study looked at data on happiness in relation to data on health to find the similarities between the two.
They concluded that of the 84 countries they collected information from, it was those that did not have access to universal healthcare that had a low happiness rate.
The nations were also judged on their life expectancy rate, physical activity and visual impairments among other things.
"The first thing that stands out is that the ten happiest countries unanimously offer universal healthcare for citizens," the report read.
"This, alongside high life expectancy, low prevalence of visual impairments, and overall high accessibility and quality of healthcare, all go to show that a healthy country makes for a happy country."
