Biological Measures of Well-Being, 1st Edition, examines physical mechanisms connected to human psychological states to guide academic inquiry across health disciplines. Edited by Colin R. Martin, Vinood Patel, Rajkumar Rajendram, and Victor R. Preedy, this book provides structured material evaluating physiological indicators of wellness.

The thematic progression begins with biopsychosocial aspects of mental health. Chapters evaluate school environments, social media usage, youth quality of life, and the physical stress experienced by medical professionals. The text also analyzes the bidirectional relationship between stress and poor physical health.

Subsequent chapters investigate bodily fluid biomarkers as physical correlates of emotional conditions. Coverage details circulating serotonin, cortisol in older individuals, serum low-density lipoprotein, and endocannabinoid system activity. Additional analyses detail beta-endorphin traits alongside systemic inflammatory markers, specifically interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP). Published by Academic Press, this 326-page 2026 volume offers reference material for research scientists, psychiatrists, and health researchers.
