Wellbeing is not just the absence of disease or illness. It’s a combination of a person's physical, mental, emotional and social health factors.
Wellbeing is strongly linked to happiness and life satisfaction.
The factors that influence wellbeing are interrelated. For example, a job provides not just money but purpose, goals, friendships and a sense of belonging.
Some factors also make up for the lack of others. For example, a good marriage can compensate for a lack of friendships, while religious beliefs may help a person come to terms with physical illness.
