Health is a multifactorial
The factors which determine the health of an individual are many, some are inside the body ( genetic/ intrinsic) and some are outside the body ( environmental factors)
The interaction of these factors may either promote or deteriorate the health.
The important determinants of health are,
The general shift from acute infectious and deficiency diseases characteristic of underdevelopment to chronic non-communicable diseases characteristic of modernization and advanced levels of development is usually referred to as the "epidemiological transition".
This ppt contains all the information about the Modes of intervention. It is useful for students of the medical field learning Preventive and social medicine, Swasthavritta (Ayurved), and everyone who is interested in knowing about it

Inclusive health and fitness education for sustainable developmentoircjournals
Health and fitness is viewed as both an enabler and an
End for sustainable development.Health and fitness
is a rapidly growing area of focus for people across the
world. The popularity of health services on media news
and talk shows,high tech health and fitness tracking
devices and stress management workshops are
just but a few of the indicators of a growing interest in whole
person well-being. For individuals with intellectual and
developmental disabilities, the benefits of quality health
and fitness areas great as those experienced by the rest of the
human population. However,the opportunities to access
quality health and fitness information and resources are not necessarily
as available. There are many options for engaging in health and
fitness activities in communities, and disability should not exclude a person from
participation. However, in reality there are too few fitness
opportunities that are of high quality and truly inclusive.
This paper therefore aims to help readers advocate for inclusive
Health and fitness opportunities in their communities by providing a list of key characteristics of quality, inclusive programs, as well as a set of tips for
individuals with disabilities.The paper has reviewed well researched sources
in Kenya and the world over highlighting how and why health must be more present, more integral, and more influential.Despite a broad agenda and steep competition for attention health and fitness remains a prominent and vital component of the development agenda and this can only be possible through inclusive quality
health and fitness education.The results will be focus on health and fitness
for individuals with physical, social, vocational, spiritual, emotional, and psychological disabilities. It offers ways in which disability service providers, health and fitness professionals, community fitness and recreation programs and employers among others can help ensure what opportunities to choose and engage in health and fitness activities through inclusive education is achieved.
