Biological Measures of Well-Being

Biological Measures of Well-Being is organized into four distinct sections that together examine the interlink between physical and emotional well-being. The first section introduces the reader to the correlation among well-being with the environment, economic status, and biological measures. The second section outlines the blood and body fluids as biological correlates of well-being. The third section reviews physiology and imaging as biological correlates of well-being. The fourth discusses the genetic correlations of well-being. Written by international experts in the field, this book will be the single source researchers and clinicians will need to understand well-being and its interlink with biological measures.
