In human mechanistic and clinical research, the importance of valid, reliable measurement tools to track an individual’s health trajectory over time cannot be overstated. A major hurdle to research on integrative health has been measurement: How can we reliably assess and consistently track the health of the whole person over time?
The new Whole Person Health Index, created by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health and the National Center for Health Statistics at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, can be used for this purpose. It consists of a set of nine validated, self-reported questions covering major domains of health.
