2015 article in the British Medical Journal Open, with 618 citations…

"Review of 99 self-report measures for assessing well-being in adults: exploring dimensions of well-being and developments over time"

...notes, in part:

The dimensions clustered around six key themes: ‘mental well-being’, ‘social well-being’, ‘physical well-being’, ‘spiritual well-being’, ‘personal circumstances’ and ‘activities and functioning’. A seventh set of dimensions were identified that attempted to measure ‘well-being overall’ in a global sense. Table 2 contains a brief description of each theme, and the number of dimensions linked to each. The majority of dimensions were linked to ‘mental well-being’, followed by ‘social well-being’ and ‘activities and functioning’

Here’s table 2:

I have bolded the connections to the nine wellbeing types of the tutti frutti model:

Mental well-being. Dimensions linked to the theme of mental well-being assess the psychological, cognitive [= intellectual [6]] and emotional [5] quality of a person’s life. This includes the thoughts and feelings that individuals have about the state of their life, and a person’s experience of happines

Social [2] well-being

Activities and functioning. The focus of this theme is the behaviour [9] and activities that characterise daily life. This involves the specific activities we fill our time with (vocation [4]), and our ability to undertake these tasks

Physical [7] well-being

Spiritual [8]

Personal circumstances. These dimensions are related to the conditions and external pressures that an individual faces. This involves numerous environmental [1] and socioeconomic concerns such as financial [3] security.

Wow!
