Health Beyond Biology

The AHI Theoctical Framework

The AHI model acknoledges that health is not merely a biological condition and conceptualises health as a durable asset—one that can improve or deteriorate through a dynamic process shaped by interactions among financial, cultural, and psychosocial resources.

The AHI Health Capital model

Within this framework, health outcomes—defined as the ability to live a long life, free of disability and with good age-related functional capacity—result from the interplay between individual choices and the wider determinants of health that influence the accumulation or erosion of an individual health capital over time.
