SAT Question for January 30th

The following text is from Jules Verne's 1863 novel Five Weeks in a Balloon.

Notwithstanding fatigues of every description, and in all climates, Ferguson's constitution continued marvelously sound. He felt at ease in the midst of the most complete privations; in fine, he was the very type of the thoroughly accomplished explorer whose stomach expands or contracts at will; whose limbs grow longer or shorter according to the resting-place that each stage of a journey may bring; who can fall asleep at any hour of the day or awake at any hour of the night.

As used in the text, what does the word "constitution" most nearly mean?
