Addition of the Risk Factor "World Region"

[admbrgd]

The risk associated with different causes of death varies significantly between world regions. I suggest to add the risk factor "World Region" to the app so that the output takes into account the physical and cultural landscape of the user.
I suggest to use the World Bank Regions (i.e.: East Asia & Pacific, Europe & Central Asia, Latin America & Caribbean, Middle East & North Africa, North America, South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa) as parameters because those regions represent clear distinctions in physical landscape (location, climate type and terrain) and cultural landscape (traditions, ethnicity, language, religion, economics and politics). Data related to these world regions is also available from open access sources.

Agreed. This is a valid risk factor and it makes the app more globally relevant.
