The Healthy Populations domain considers the physical, mental and social wellbeing of the population.
Healthy populations examines life expectancy, lifestyle and behaviours, and the circumstances that influence health such as access to health care.
Healthy Populations captures the overall health of the population (“health status”) and factors that influence health (“health determinants”). This broad perspective is used because lifestyles and behaviours are shaped by many factors like how food distribution and price, how houses are constructed and located, public transportation systems, accessibility of facilities, and the natural environment.
