Of the two, I'd say Health - but the 'both' option has rendered the poll useless and pointless

That's a bit harsh, if you want to see what people think in terms of which is most important you just look at which of health and relationships has most votes and ignore the 'both' votes. Having a both option makes the poll more accesible to indecisive people.
either can affect the other so equal

The original question (which is really quite a good one btw) was "Health OR Relationships" - one or the other - not "ooh...i cant decide, let me have both...er...." What's the point in having a good interesting question, then spoiling it with 'both'?

Yeah, the 'both' option has done just that!

To be honest with you, on a day to day basis I'd find my health important; but of course destructive relationships can be very detrimental to health over time. To my mind, you can split relationships into the very important and the not so important. Example: family and a couple of close friends are often enough. Gaining the approval of everyone you meet not so much. I'd rank health above the 'non-essential' relationships, but below the 'essential' ones, as health can be much improved with a strong support network.

Make sense ?

People with good relationships are more likely to have better health. The two are not mutually exclusive.
