12. Definitions of Health
• WHO: Complete state of physical, mental, and
social well being; not merely the absence of
disease or infirmity
• (1999) “extent to which an individual or group
is able, on the one hand, to realized aspirations
and satisfy needs; and, on the other hand , to
change or cope with the environment.”

13. More Contemporary Perspective
Health is a dynamic human condition with multiple and intertwined
dimensions such as:
Physical
Emotional
Social
Intellectual
Spiritual
Environmental
Viewed as a continuum with positive and negative poles
+ capacity to enjoy life and withstand challenges
– illness and disease or premature death
