Adopted Standards For Human Health

Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and the absence of disease or infirmity”. Human health also varies depending on the availability of living conditions and resources, including a place to live, adequate education, food security, material income, peace and security, social justice, equality and a healthy environment. One of the main factors characterizing health is the interaction of a person’s own internal health with the external factors that determine it. Regardless of the influence of these external factors, the main responsibility lies with each individual and each person must ensure his or her own health.

Many factors affect the normal life and functioning of people in the world. The most important of these is human health. If a person is not healthy, there can be no talk of any normal activity and development. A healthy person means not only the health of his body, but also his mental health. Since health is a dynamic concept determined by society, there is no specific and standard definition of it. If we take it more broadly, health means the coexistence of many of the following conceptual models: ‒ the presence of external and internal balance of the human body ‒ the absence of diseases in the human body ‒ the ability to live and function normally ‒ the presence of social well-being.
