The main contributions of this paper are concluded as below: (1) We first extend the distance measurement to interval-valued q-rung fuzzy numbers (IVq-ROFNs), and proves its properties. And we develop a new score function which is used to measure IVq-ROFNs, and the new score function overcomes the deficiencies of the existing score function. (2) We extend Yager weighted average operator (IVq-ROFYWA) and Yager weighted geometric average operator (IVq-ROFYWG) under IVq-ROFS, and we discuss the properties of IVq-ROFYWA and IVq-ROFYWG operators. (3) We propose a new method to derive expert weights of different alternatives, which can avoid the deficiency of overall decision-making perspective. And we extend deriving attribute weights method based on CRITIC under IVq-ROFS. (4) A new integrated MAGDM method is proposed. The MAGDM method integrates Yager operator, score function, distance measurement, expert weights deriving method, CRITIC method, and WASPAS method. (5) Finally, the group decision-making algorithm is used for hypertension risk management. The results are consistent with experts’ opinions. And comparing and analyzing results show that the proposed MAGDM method is effective and feasible.
