The concept of positive health (PH) supports an integrated approach for patients by taking into account six dimensions of health. This approach is especially relevant for patients with chronic disorders. Chronic gastrointestinal and hepato-pancreatico-biliary (GI-HPB) disorders are among the top-6 of the most prevalent chronically affected organ systems. The impact of chronic GI-HPB disorders on individuals may be disproportionally high because: (1) The affected organ system frequently contributes to a malnourished state; and (2) persons with chronic GI-HPB disorders are often younger than persons with chronic diseases in other organ systems.
