Supratim Mukherjee and Ratan Jana

Abstract

The impact of psychological and environmental well-being on physical fitness has gathered significant interest over the years. Health is not merely the absence of disease but a state of complete physical, psychological, and social well-being. Therefore, assessing psychological well-being is crucial for evaluating a person’s overall health and fitness. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for measuring psychological well-being using the Fuzzy Multi-Attribute Decision Making (FMADM) algorithm, which allows for a more nuanced and comprehensive analysis. Our methodology is demonstrated through a case study involving students aged 14-16 from both rural and urban areas in the Murshidabad District of West Bengal, India. This case study highlights the diverse factors influencing psychological well-being in different demographic settings, offering valuable insights into the interplay between environment, psychological health, and physical fitness. Through this approach, we aim to provide a robust framework for understanding and enhancing overall human health.
