The biological part of community health status is often measured through traditional morbidity and mortality rates, such as rates of diseases, injuries and deaths within the community. This provides information on the state of the community's physical health and well-being. Choice A (race/ethnicity) is a demographic characteristic and is not specific to measuring the biological aspect of community health status. Choice C (policy making and social change) and D (homicide rates) are not specific to measuring the biological aspect of community health status.
