danz90 said:Health is not merely the absence of disease; it incorporates social, psychological and physiological wellbeing. It is very difficult to determine at any one time whether an individual is 'healthy'.. since we are all affected by various factors in social, psychological and physiological wellbeing at any one time.
Disease refers to an impairment of the structure and functioning of the human body. In this way, it is difficult to categorise certain injuries or conditions as diseases. For example, if someone 'winded' you in a footy match, then is that really a disease? by definition it is, since the structure and function of the diaphragm is affected.
I don't think this is right btw, I studied this quite a while ago and isn't that clear in my head.
that sounds gr8 for studying it a while back :wave:
