Aggregated Physiological Measures of Individual and Group Health Status

MARTIN K. CHEN1

1 Bureau of Health Services Research, U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare Rockville, Maryland, U.S.A.

Two health status indices applicable to individuals and groups are presented for research and health programme evaluation purposes. Both indices are functions of distances from cultural or group norms of the healthy state on a number of physiological dimensions that are theoretically or empirically related to health. Ways of deriving group norms are briefly discussed.

Received 4 January 1975
