The America’s Health Rankings model reflects that determinants of health directly influence health outcomes. The five categories of health include social and economic factors, physical environment, clinical care, behaviors and health outcomes. This model is built upon the World Health Organization's definition of health: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
