Introduction

The present paper explores health and its environmental determinants. Before go further, first we need to know on what factors does health depend? Since health depends upon both subjective perception and objective assessment, researchers are generally unable to identify all the determinants of health. Some of the factors come under subjective domain, and it is not easy to understand and quantify these factors. In general, health determinants are classified under two broad categories as micro and macro determinants (Fig-1) (P.R. Panchamukhi 2002).
