America’s Health Rankings® is built upon the World Health Organization definition of health: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
The America’s Health Rankings model, shown below, includes four drivers, or determinants of health: social and economic factors, physical environment, clinical care and behaviors all of which influence the fifth model category, health outcomes.
