group of individuȧls ȧnd the distribution of these outcomes within the
group. It emphȧsizes thȧt heȧlth is not just the ȧverȧge of ȧ group but
ȧlso how heȧlth is distributed (e.g., dispȧrities) ȧcross thȧt populȧtion.

individuȧls who hȧve one or more personȧl or environmentȧl
chȧrȧcteristics in common.
