How many dimensions of health are listed?

• A. Six
• B. Five
• C. Four
• D. Seven

Answer: (A)

Health is viewed as multi-faceted rather than just physical status. A common framework in public health lists six dimensions: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, and environmental health. So the number of dimensions listed is six. If you only count four, you’d be omitting one or more domains such as environmental or spiritual; five would merge two areas or leave one out; seven would add another dimension beyond the standard framework. In this context, six is the standard count.
