Concept of health and wellbeing by Dr. Sonam Aggarwal Dr. Sonam Aggarwal
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity”. (given by: WHO, 1948)
In 1978, the ability to lead a “socially and economically productive life” was also added to the definition by WHO.
The concept of health as defined by WHO is broad and positive in its implications; it sets out the standard, the standard of “positive” health.
However, the WHO definition of health is not an “operational definition”.

Navigating the Health Insurance Market_ Understanding Trends and Options.pdfEnterprise Wired
From navigating policy options to staying informed about industry trends, this comprehensive guide explores everything you need to know about the health insurance market.
CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.

3. health
Health
● Traditionally health has been defined in the terms of the
Presence or absence of disease.
● The conditions of being sound in body, mind or spirit and
especially free from physical disease or pain (Webster).
According to the WHO "Health is a state of complete physical, mental,
and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease"
4. Dimentions of health
These are four aspects or dimensions are (a) Physical (b) Mental (c) Social and
spiritual.
● Physical well-being means having the physical strength, endurance
and energy to work towards your goals.
● Mental well-being is ability to cope with the world in a way that brings
you satisfaction;
● Social well-being means development of relationships with others –
both with people in your immediate surroundings and with the larger
community through cultural, spiritual and political activities.
5. Concepts of health
1. Biomedical concept
2. Ecological concept
3. Psychosocial concept
4.Holistic concept
6. Biomedical theory
● Traditionally health has been viewed as "absence of disease" if one person
is free from disease, s/he is considered as healthy. This concept is known
as "Biomedical Concept", it has basis in germ theory of disease.
● The medical profession viewed the human body as a machine, disease
because of the breakdown of the machine and one of the Doctor's tasks as
repair of machine.
● The limitation of this concept is that, it has minimized the role of
environmental, social, psychological and cultural determinants of health.
7. Ecological theory
● The ecologist put forward another hypothesis, which viewed health
as a dynamic equilibrium between man and his environment, and
disease as a maladjustment of the human organisms to the
environment.
● Ecological and cultural adaptations determine not only the
occurrence of disease but also the availability of food and the
population explosion.
● The concept supports the need for clean air, safe water, ozonic
layer in the atmosphere, etc. to protect us from exposure to
unhealthy factors.
8. Psychosocial well being
Contemporary developments in social sciences
revealed that health is not only a biomedical
phenomenon, but also one, which is in the need by
social psychological, cultural, economic and
political factors of the people concerned. Health is
both a biological and social phenomenon.
9. Holistic theory
● Holism means viewing a person's health as a balance of body,
mind, and spirit. Treating only the body will not necessarily
restore optimal health. In addition to physical needs, nurses
must also consider clients' psychological, sociocultural,
developmental, and spiritual needs.
● Holistic model is a synthesis of biomedical & ecological model
& psychosocial concept. It recognizes the strength of social,
economic, political and environmental influence on health.
10. wellness
Wellness is a state of well-being. It is an active
process by which an individual progresses
towards maximum potential possible,
regardless of current state of health.
12. Models of health and illness
● Health illness continuum
● Agent host environment model
● High level wellness model
● Health belief model
● Health promotion model
