About This Image
This issue of Preventing Chronic Disease includes articles on
the components required for health and well-being. The cover image shows
many of the building blocks that make up a holistic concept of health,
including mental, spiritual, physical, and social influences. The World
Health Organization defines health as a state of complete physical,
mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or
infirmity. Well-being is a condition in which the whole is more than the
sum of its parts; an individual healthy behavior, no matter how
consistently maintained, may not affect overall
health. However, when that behavior combines and works in concert with
other healthy behaviors, optimal health can be achieved.
