title: An integrative model of health, illness, and disease.
abstract: Health has traditionally been viewed in this country as the opposite of illness, even though what constitutes "health" is usually not clearly defined. This article highlights the complexity of the factors that influence health, probes the relationship between illness and disease, and explores the possibilities of establishing an integrated view of health, illness, and disease.
