The next closest country is Costa Rica at 44%. Six of the top 10 countries are in Latin America.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s not a big surprise, based on what we know and have measured in the past,&#8221; Witters says. A previous Gallup poll found Latin Americans in general and Panamanians in particular have the<a title=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/world\/2012\/12\/19\/poll-says-latin-americans-most-upbeat\/1780683\/\" href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/world\/2012\/12\/19\/poll-says-latin-americans-most-upbeat\/1780683\/\" target=\"_blank\"> most upbeat attitudes<\/a>, based on things such as smiling and laughing a lot and enjoying life.<\/p>\n<p>Another recent poll found people in Panama had something to smile about, he says: They were the most likely in the world to say it was a good time to find a job, reflecting a growing economy \u2013 driven in part by a Panama Canal expansion under construction.<\/p>\n<p>The well-being poll may be picking up a cultural tendency in some countries to &#8220;see the glass as half full,&#8221; says Peter Choueiri, president of Healthways International.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, he says, results suggest a mismatch between perceptions and reality. For example, people in Saudi Arabia and Mexico scored in the top 10 for physical well-being, despite having very high obesity rates.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing about such mismatches, he says, can help governments, employers and insurers design culturally sensitive interventions.<\/p>\n<p>The poll also picked up some grim realities. Just 1% of people in conflict-torn Syria and Afghanistan were found to be thriving on at least three measures.<\/p>\n<p>Even in the USA, just one-third of people are thriving financially, saying they have enough money not to worry and to do what they need to do, Witters says.<\/p>\n<p>The USA ranked 15th for social well-being, 18th for sense of purpose, 21st for financial well-being and 25th for both physical well-being and community.<\/p>\n<p>Recent U.S.-only versions of the poll have found that Provo, Utah, <a title=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/nation\/2014\/03\/25\/gallup-cities-well-being\/6828197\/\" href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/nation\/2014\/03\/25\/gallup-cities-well-being\/6828197\/\" target=\"_blank\">ranks first among cities<\/a> and that North Dakota <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallup.com\/poll\/167435\/north-dakota-well-being-west-virginia-still-last.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">ranks first among states.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Worth noting: Other international studies using different measures rank the well-being of countries in different order.
