Health is the level of
functional or metabolic efficiency of a living organism. In humans, it is the
general condition of a person's mind and body, usually meaning to be free from
illness, injury or pain (as in "good health" or
"healthy").The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its
broader sense in 1946 as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social
well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."Although
this definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as lacking
operational value and because of the problem created by use of the word
"complete," it remains the most enduring. Other definitions have been
proposed, among which a recent definition that correlates health and personal
satisfaction. Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International
Classifications, including the International Classification of Functioning,
Disability and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases
(ICD), are commonly used to define and measure the components of health.
Systematic activities
to prevent or cure health problems and promote good health in humans are
undertaken by health care providers. Applications with regard to animal health
are covered by the veterinary sciences. The term "healthy" is also
widely used in the context of many types of non-living organizations and their
impacts for the benefit of humans, such as in the sense of healthy communities,
healthy cities or healthy environments. In addition to health care
interventions and a person's surroundings, a number of other factors are known
to influence the health status of individuals, including their background,
lifestyle, and economic, social conditions, and spirituality; these are referred
to as "determinants of health." Studies have shown that high levels
of stress can affect your health.
