Extended concept of health
Abstract
The sense of health has advanced over time. In 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as linking fitness to well-being, in phases of physical, mental, and social well-being, and no longer the absence of disease and infirmity. The WHO definition has been criticized as (i) static, (ii) morbidity’s changing styles, and (iii) definition’s operationalization. This paper attempts to understand the expanded concept of health through the use of those words, objective and subjective related to interjective and intersubjective. Broadened concepts of disease and binomial health disease can be better understood under an expanded concept of health.
