Health is a unity and harmony within the mind, body and spirit which is unique to each person, and is as defined by that person. The level of wellness or health is, in part, determined by the ability to deal with and defend against stress. Health is determined by physiological, psychological, socio-cultural, spiritual, and developmental stage variables.

Blood Pressure :: Racial differences in effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy
Because racial or ethnic differences in response to antihypertensive drug therapies may contribute to disparities in cardiovascular disease, this systematic review of 28 studies attempts to (1) identify racial differences in the efficacy of antihypertensive drug therapies and (2) quantify the number and proportion of racial and ethnic minorities participating in these clinical trials.The authors assert that increased minority participation in future studies is needed to determine optimal prevention therapies, especially in outcome-driven trials that compare multi-drug antihypertensive treatment regimens.
