Answer:

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity

Fitness specifically refers to physical health, and is the ability to complete a physical task, or the lack of a physical ailment

Wellness, on the other hand, refers to the balance of a spectrum of health-related elements in one's life

the difference has to do with physical activity, these people are usually younger & make a conscious effort to work out in addition to day to day adl's.

health &wellness has more 2 do with older people as in eating healthier, going to the dr. when necessary and making an effort to go 4 walks, or bike rides. it's about feeling better.
