Explanation of health promotion terms

Health promotion is a social behavior and social strategy that uses administrative or organizational means to coordinate all relevant social departments, communities, families and individuals to fulfill their respective responsibilities for health and maintain and promote health.

Healthpromotion was first put forward by the World Health Organization at the first international health promotion conference held in Ottawa, Canada.

At present, the most recognized definition of health promotion is the Ottawa Charter: "Health promotion is a process that urges people to maintain and improve their health". Brundtland, former Director-General of the World Health Organization, made a clearer explanation at the Fifth Global Conference on Health Promotion in 2000: "Health promotion is to make people do everything possible to keep their spirits and bodies in the best condition, with the aim of making people know how to stay healthy, lead a healthy lifestyle and have the ability to make healthy choices.

The concept of health promotion is more complete than health education, because health promotion covers health education and ecological factors (environmental factors and administrative means). Health promotion refers to the integration of all education and ecological support that can promote the transformation of behavior and living conditions to health.
