This text emphasizes the importance of a positive lifestyle gained through an active approach to wellness, rather than simply the absence of disease or illness. It incorporates the Prochaska Stages of Change model of health behaviour and modification in each chapter, providing students with a practical system for making health lifestyle changes. In this edition the chapter on noncommunicable diseases has been split into separate chapters on cancer and cardiovascular disease; and there is an increased emphasis on diversity, including ethnicity, gender, age and socioeconomic status.
