Abstract

The sense of health has advanced over time. In 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined health 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 use of those words, objective and subjective related interjective and intersubjective. Broadened concept of disease and the binomial health-disease can be better understood under an expanded concept of health.
