Abstract

The disease pattern shifting nowadays is beyond the epidemiologic transition theory. The multifarious change in patterns of health and disease depends on demographic, psychological and socio-economical determinants and their consequences. It is strongly evident that disease pattern is shifting from communicable to lifestyle diseases.There is an association between mental well-being and the immune system, which can be either overactive or suppressed, leading to related diseases disturbance of mind–body axis that has an effect on several aspects of the immune reaction through behavioural, neural and endocrine reactions to stimuli.
