Healthy mind means healthy body 

Published on 31 August, 2009 

Findings from an Australian population health study show that there are direct links between our minds and our bodies when it comes to health.

CQUniversity researchers Brenda Happell and Dr Stefan Koehn will give a public presentation in Rockhampton on this topic on Thursday September 3 from 1 to 2pm in building 33 Room G.22.

Dr Happell said results from community health studies indicated that age, Body Mass Index (BMI), and income were significant determinants of physical health, and age was a significant predictor of mental health.

She said the studies had confirmed that mental health was a significant predictor of physical health, but not vice versa.

For more information regarding the presentation phone Dr Jim Douglas on 4930 9371.
