Jin kāng is a Chinese word, which means that a person is in good physical, mental and social condition.
Health is the basic right of people and the first wealth of life. The traditional concept of health is "disease-free health", while the modern concept of health is overall health. The World Health Organization puts forward that "health is not only the absence of physical diseases, but also mental health, good social adaptation and morality".
Health is English, so is health status. In some dictionaries, "health" is usually simply defined as "the body is in normal operation and there is no disease". This is the traditional concept of health. Usually, we really regard diseases as the disorder of the body, which leads to functional decline, impaired quality of life (mainly physical pain) or premature death.
In Ci Hai, the concept of health is: "The organs and systems of the human body are well developed, functioning normally, strong and powerful, and the efficiency of labor, health and food is good. It is usually measured by anthropometry, physical examination and various physiological indicators. " This formulation is more perfect than "health means no disease", but it still treats people as biological organisms.
Because although it puts forward the concept of "labor efficiency", it still doesn't treat people as social people. The understanding of health is recognized as correct in the era of biomedical model.
