Health (WHO, 1948): A holistic state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Example: Feeling energetic, mentally balanced, and socially active signifies good health.
Biomedical Model: A reductionist approach viewing health as the absence of disease caused by biological factors; health is restored by treating underlying physical causes.
Example: Prescribing antibiotics for bacterial infections.
Biopsychosocial Model: An integrative approach considering biological, psychological, and social factors as interacting influences on health and illness.
Example: Chronic pain influenced by physical injury, emotional stress, and social support.
Lay Theories of Health: Informal, everyday beliefs about what constitutes health, often varying across cultures and individuals, and not necessarily aligned with scientific models.
Example: Believing that a strong immune system alone defines good health.
