Mental and emotional health form one component of your "health triangle", along with physical and social health. The elements of this triangle affect the other elements. For example, if your mental and emotional health is poor, it might lead to bad eating habits as you try to cope with sadness, or lethargy, if depression makes you lose the will to exercise. Thus, poor mental and emotional health has a negative impact upon your physical health.

Mental, emotional, social, and physical health are interconnected aspects of overall well-being. Poor mental health can impact emotions, social interactions, and physical health, and vice versa. Taking care of all aspects is important for maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
The biomedical model of health looks at individual physical functioning and describes bad health and illness as the presence of disease and ill symptoms as a result of physical causes such as injury or infections and doesn't look at social and psychological factors. The social model of health looks at how society and our environment affect our everyday health and well-being, including factors such as are social class, poverty, poor housing, diet, pollution and income. Also Biomedical concentrates only on the individual, social medical does not solely concentrate on the individual.
Social and physical health can have significant impacts on mental and emotional health. Positive social connections and support can improve mental well-being, while social isolation can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression. Engaging in regular physical activity can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as improve overall mood and self-esteem. Conversely, physical health problems can contribute to mental health issues like stress and anxiety.
Poor Hygiene, poor nutrition, poor physical activity.
It depends what your specifically focusing on, but I'm studying Applied Sociological Perspectives at college in my 2nd year and we've looked at how the UK's Social Class table can actually affect the health and how job differences, income, and living standards, also it could be things such as socially healthy, if you are isolating yourself, its bad for your PIES (Physical, Intellectual, Emotional & Social). Language Barriers also affect health, because if a person who emigrates knows very little English and doesn't know about health care services, that will affect their health too.. the 2001 Census says that the majority of people who reported poor health were those from Ethnic Minority groups who have emigrated to England, this is normally because they are unaware that Health Care is free in most places of the UK... Sorry to ramble, but hope it helps :)
They are directly related. A person with good social health tends to have better mental health than those with poor social health. Being around friends frequently tends to keep people happier and healthier (mentally and physically). This is not a law written in stone and there are many mentally healthy people with poor social health and many mentally ill people with good social health.
A client's living arrangement can impact their socializing willingness and ability if they don't feel comfortable or safe in their environment. Poor physical health can also affect socializing by limiting energy levels or causing pain that may make social activities challenging. These factors can contribute to social isolation or reluctance to engage with others.
Social problems such as poverty, discrimination, lack of access to healthcare, and social isolation can significantly impact mental and physical health. These issues can lead to increased stress, anxiety, depression, and overall poor well-being. Addressing these social problems through interventions and support systems is essential in promoting better health outcomes.
Our bodies and minds are not separate, so it's not surprising that mental ill-health can affect your body. Depression can come with headaches, fatigue, and digestive problems, and anxiety can create an upset stomach, for example. Other symptoms can include insomnia, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating
