features of their lives. Community members may not live in the same geographic location as

well or ill, health is considered a relative term. Thus, illness is viewed as a state of being
relatively unhealthy. Health is typically described as a continuum that involves a range of
degrees from optimal health at one end to total disabilityor death at the other. The line of
