One's state of health and suitability (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fitness

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

I believe this is a triple definition!

'one's state' is the first definition.
'fitness' can be an answer for 'state' (fitness is a kind of state). I'm unsure of the 'one's' bit.

'of' acts as a link.

'health' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'and' is a link.

'suitability' is the third definition.
(I know that fitness is a type of suitability)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fitness that I've seen before include "State of good health" , "condition" , "Well-being" , "Competence" , "Suitability - health" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
