This document discusses definitions and concepts of health. It begins by summarizing the WHO definition of health as complete physical, mental and social well-being. It then discusses changing concepts of health, including the biomedical model focusing on disease absence, the ecological model viewing health as equilibrium between person and environment, and the holistic model synthesizing social, economic and other influences. The document outlines dimensions of health including physical, mental, social, spiritual and emotional. It concludes by discussing concepts of positive health, well-being, standard of living, quality of life, and indices like the Physical Quality of Life Index and Human Development Index.

DIMENSIONS OF HEALTH
Health is multidimensional, the list may expand (11), and these function and interact with one another.
1-Physical dimension
2-Mental dimension
3-Social dimension
4-Spiritual dimension
5- Emotional dimension
6-Vocational dimension
7-Others
1-Physical dimension
The state of physical health implies the notion of perfect functioning of the body.
2- Mental dimension
Mental health has been defined as "a sate of balance between the individual and the surrounding world, a state of harmony between oneself and others, coexistence between the realities of the self and that of other people and that of the environment"
3- Social dimension
Social well-being implies harmony and integration within the individual, between each individual and other member of society and between individuals and the world in which they live.
4- Spiritual dimension
It refers to the part of the individual which reaches out and strives for meaning and purpose in life(includes integrity, principles and ethics, the purpose in life).
5- Emotional dimension
Emotional dimension relates to "feeling" while mental health can be seen as "knowing" or "cognition".
6- Vocational dimension
It is part of human existence. When work is fully adapted to human's goals, capacities, and limitations, work often plays a role in promoting both physical and mental health.
7-Others
A few other dimensions have also been suggested such as:
- philosophical dimension
- cultural dimension
- socio-economic dimension
- educational dimension
- nutritional dimension
- curative dimension
- preventive dimension
POSITIVE HEALTH
Recently a broader concept of health has been emerging that of improving the quality of life of which health is an essential component.
So positive health depends not only on medical action, but on all the other economic, cultural and social factors operating in the community.
HEALTH - A RELATIVE CONCEPT
Health is a relative concept and health standards vary among cultures, social classes and age groups and health in any society should be defined in terms of prevailing ecological conditions.

3. DEFINITION OF HEALTH
The widely accepted definition of health is that given by
the World Health Organization ( 1948) in the preamble to its
constitution, which is as follows :
"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and
social well-being and not merely an absence of disease
or infirmity"
In recent years, this statement has been amplified to
include the ability to lead a "socially and economically
productive life" .
4. WHO definition of health has been criticized as being
too broad.
Some argue that health cannot be defined as a
"state" at all, but must be seen as a process of continuous
adjustment to the changing demands of living and of the
changing meanings we give to life.
It is a dynamic concept.
It helps people live well, work well and enjoy themselves.
5.
6. 1. Biomedical concept
Traditionally, health has been viewed as an
"absence of disease", and if one was free
from disease, then the person was considered
healthy. This concept, known as
the"biomedical concept" has the basis in the
"germ theory of disease" which dominated
medical thought at the turn of the 20th
century.
7. 1. Biomedical concept
The criticism that is levelled against the biomedical
concept is that it has minimized the role of the
environmental, social, psychological and cultural
determinants of health. The biomedical model, for
all its spectacular success in treating disease, was
found inadequate to solve some of the major health
problems of mankind (e.g., malnutrition, chronic
diseases, accidents, drug abuse, mental illness,
environmental pollution, population explosion) by
elaborating the medical technologies.
Developments in medical and social sciences led to
the conclusion that the biomedical concept of
health was inadequate.
8. 2. Ecological concept
The ecologists put forward an attractive
hypothesis which viewed health as a dynamic
equilibrium between man and his environment,
and disease a maladjustment of the human
organism to environment.
The ecological concept raises two issues, viz.
imperfect man and
imperfect environment
9. 3. Psychosocial concept
Contemporary developments in social
sciences revealed that health is not only a
biomedical phenomenon, but one which is
influenced by social, psychological, cultural,
economic and political factors of the people
concerned. These factors must be taken into
consideration in defining and measuring
health. Thus health is both a biological and
social phenomenon.
10. 4. Holistic concept
The holistic model is a synthesis of all the
above concepts. It recognizes the strength of
social, economic, political and environmental
influences on health. It has been variously
described as a unified or multidimensional
process involving the well-being of the whole
person in the context of his environment.
11. DIMENSIONS OF HEALTH
Health is multidimensional. The WHO definition
envisages three specific dimensions - the
physical, the mental and the
social. Many more may be
cited, viz. spiritual, emotional,
vocational and political
dimensions
12. 1. Physical dimension
The state of physical health implies the
notion of "perfect functioning" of the body. It
conceptualizes health biologically as a state
in which every cell and every organ is
functioning at optimum capacity and in
perfect harmony with the rest of the body
13. 1. Physical dimension (contd.)
The signs of physical health in an individual are: "a good
complexion, a clean skin, bright eyes, lustrous hair with a
body well clothed with firm flesh, not too fat, a sweet breath, a
good appetite, sound sleep, regular activity of bowels and
bladder and smooth, easy, coordinated bodily movements. All
the organs of the body are of unexceptional size and function
normally; all the special senses are intact; the resting pulse rate,
blood pressure and exercise tolerance are all within the range of
"normality" for the individual's age and sex.
14. 2. Mental dimension
Psychologists have mentioned the following characteristics as
attributes of a mentally healthy person:
a. a mentally healthy person is free from internal
conflicts; he is not at "war" with himself.
b. he is well-adjusted, i.e., he is able to get along well
with others. He accepts criticism and is not easily
upset.
c. he searches for identity.
d. he has a strong sense of self-esteem.
e. he knows himself: his needs, problems and goals (this
is known as self-actualization).
f. he has good self-control-balances rationality and
emotionality.
g. he faces problems and tries to solve them intelligently,
i.e., coping with stress and anxiety.
15. 3. Social dimension
The social dimension of health includes the
levels of social skills one possesses, social
functioning and the ability to see oneself as a
member of a larger society. In general, social
health takes into account that every individual
is part of a family and of wider community and
focuses on social and economic conditions
and well-being of the "whole person" in the
context of his social network.
16. 4. Spiritual dimension
Spiritual health in this context, refers to that
part of the individual which reaches out and
strives for meaning and purpose in life. It is
the intangible "something" that transcends
physiology and psychology. As a relatively
new concept, it seems to defy concrete
definition. It includes integrity, principles and
ethics, the purpose in life, commitment to
some higher being and belief in concepts that
are not subject
to "state of the art" explanation .
17. 5. Emotional dimension
Historically the mental and emotional dimensions have
been seen as one element or as two closely related
elements.
However, as more research becomes available a definite
difference is emerging. Mental health can be seen as
"knowing" or "cognition" while emotional health relates to
"feeling". Experts in psychobiology have been relatively
successful in isolating these two separate dimensions.
With
this new data, the mental and emotional aspects of
humanness may have to be viewed as two separate
dimensions of human health
19. POSITIVE HEALTH
The state of positive health implies the notion of "perfect
functioning" of the body and mind. It conceptualizes health
biologically, as a state in which every cell and every organ
is
functioning at optimum capacity and in perfect harmony
with
the rest of the body; psychologically, as a state in which the
individual feels a sense of perfect well-being and of
mastery
over his environment, and socially, as a state in which the
individual's capacities for participation in the social system
are optimal .
20. CONCEPT OF WELL-BEING
Psychologists have pointed out that the "well -
being" of an individual or group of individuals have
· objective and subjective components. The
objective components relate to such concerns as
are generally known by the term "standard of
living" or "level of living". The subjective
component of wellbeing (as expressed by each
individual) is referred to as"quality of life" . Let us
consider these concepts separately
21. 1. Standard of living
The term "standard of living" refers to the usual scale of
our expenditure, the goods we consume and the services we
enjoy. It includes the level of education, employment status,
food, dress, house, amusements and comforts of modern
living .
A similar definition, corresponding to the above, was
proposed by WHO: "Income and occupation, standards of
housing, sanitation and nutrition, the level of provision of
health, educational, recreational and other services may all
be used individually as measures of socio-economic status,
and collectively as an index of the "standard of living.
22. 2. Level of living
The parallel term for standard of living used in
United Nations documents is "level of living".
It consists of
nine components: health, food
consumption, education, occupation and
working conditions, housing, social
security,clothing, recreation and leisure,
and human rights. These objective
characteristics are believed to influence
human well-being.
23. 3. Quality of life
It is the "subjective" component of well-being.
"Quality of life" was defined by WHO as: "the
condition of life resulting from the combination
of the effects of the complete range of factors
such as those determining health, happiness
(including comfort in the physical environment
and a satisfying occupation), education, social
and intellectual attainments, freedom of action,
justice and freedom of expression".
24. Physical quality of life index
(PQLI)
It consolidates three indicators, viz. infant mortality, life expectancy
at age one, and literacy. These three components measure the
results rather than inputs. As such they lend themselves to
international and national comparison.
For each component, the performance of individual
countries is placed on a scale of 0 to 100, where 0 represents
an absolutely defined "worst" performance, and 100
represents an absolutely defined "best" performance. The
composite index is calculated by averaging the three
indicators, giving equal weight to each of them. The
resulting PQLI thus also is scaled 0 to 100. It may be mentioned that
PQLI has not taken per capita GNP into consideration, showing
thereby that "money is not everything".
25. Physical quality of life index
(PQLI)
For example, the oil-rich countries of MiddleEast
with high per capita incomes have in fact not very
high PQLis. At the other extreme, Sri Lanka and
Kerala state in India have low per capita incomes
with high PQLis. In short, PQLI does not measure
economic growth; it measures the results of
social, economic and political policies. It is
intended to complement, not replace GNP. The
ultimate objective is to attain a PQLI of 100
26. Human Development Index
(HDI)
Human development index (HD!) is defined as "a
composite index combining indicators
representing three dimensions - longevity (life
expectancy at birth); knowledge (mean years
of schooling and expected years of schooling.
Before the year 2009, the indicators used were
adult literacy rate and gross enrolment ratio) and
income (GNI per capita in purchasing power
parity in US dollars)".
The HDI values range between 0 to 1.
