health
(noun)
The state of being free from physical or psychological disease, illness, or malfunction; wellness.
Examples of health in the following topics:
-
Global Health
- Global health is the health of populations in a global context and transcends the perspectives and concerns of individual nations.
- Global health is the health of populations in a global context and transcends the perspectives and concerns of individual nations.
- It has been defined as "the area of study, research and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide. " Thus, global health is about worldwide improvement of health, reduction of disparities, and protection against global threats that disregard national borders.
- The application of these principles to the domain of mental health is called global mental health.
- The major international agency for health is the World Health Organization (WHO) .
-
Descriptive Epidemiology
- The goal of epidemiology is to establish causal factors for health issues in order to improve the health and safety of entire populations.
- Health issues refer to anything that might impact health in the present or future.
- Descriptive epidemiology evaluates and catalogs all the circumstances surrounding a person affected by a health event of interest .
- The end goal of both branches is to reduce the incidence of health events or diseases by understanding the risk factors for the health events or diseases.
- Both descriptive and analytical epidemiology often serve public health organizations by providing information that may reduce disease or reduce other kinds of events that impact people's health.
-
Public Health Measures for Disease Control
- Promotion of hand washing, breastfeeding, delivery of vaccinations, and distribution of condoms are examples of public health measures.
- The focus of public health intervention is to improve health and quality of life through the prevention and treatment of disease and other physical and mental health conditions.
- Promotion of hand washing and breastfeeding, delivery of vaccinations, and distribution of condoms to control the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, are examples of common public health measures.
- Breastfeeding promotes health and helps to prevent disease.
- Give examples of common public health measures that are recommended to control the spread of disease
-
Cost and Prevention of Resistance
- Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health and economic burden on patients, affected communities, and healthcare providers.
- Prevention and control of microbial-resistant organisms is one of the most complex management issues that health care professionals face.
- The clinical and financial burden to patients and health care providers is staggering.
-
Analytical Epidemiology
- Epidemiology is the study (or the science of the study) of the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations.
- It is the cornerstone of public health, and informs policy decisions and evidence-based medicine by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive medicine.
- Epidemiology has helped develop methodology used in clinical research, public health studies and, to some extent, basic research in the biological sciences.
- The outdated public health advice demonstrates the lack of understanding of the disease and its actual causative factors in the absence of epidemiological analysis.
-
History of Epidemiology
- Epidemiology is the study of the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations.
- Epidemiology is the study of the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations.
- It is the cornerstone of public health, and informs policy decisions and evidence-based medicine by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive medicine.
- Epidemiology has helped develop methodology used in clinical research, public health studies and, to a lesser extent, basic research in the biological sciences.
- This has been perceived as a major event in the history of public health and regarded as the founding event of the science of epidemiology, having helped shape public health policies around the world.

Experimental Epidemiology
- Epidemiology is the study (or the science of the study) of the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations.
- It is the cornerstone of public health, and informs policy decisions and evidence-based medicine by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive medicine.
- Epidemiology has helped develop methodology used in clinical research, public health studies and, to a lesser extent, basic research in the biological sciences.
- Although epidemiology is sometimes viewed as a collection of statistical tools used to elucidate the associations of exposures to health outcomes, a deeper understanding of this science is that of discovering causal relationships.
-
Disease Severity and Duration
- The International Classification of Diseases (most commonly known by the abbreviation ICD) is according to its publisher, the United Nations-sponsored World Health Organization, and is considered "the standard diagnostic tool for epidemiology, health management and clinical purposes. " It is known as a health care classification system that provides codes to classify diseases and a wide variety of signs, symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or disease.
- Under this system, every health condition can be assigned to a unique category and given a code, up to six characters long.
- Such categories can include a set of similar diseases.The International Classification of Diseases is published by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is used worldwide for morbidity and mortality statistics, reimbursement systems, and automated decision support in health care.
-
The Vocabulary Epidemiology
- Epidemiology is the study of the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in set populations.
- The term epidemiology is now widely applied to cover the description and causation of not only epidemic disease, but of disease in general, and even many non-disease health-related conditions, such as high blood pressure and obesity.
- Morbidity is a diseased state, disability, or poor health due to any cause.
- The term may be used to refer to the existence of any form of disease, or to the degree that a health condition affects the patient.
-
Finding New Antimicrobial Drugs
- Antimicrobial resistance has created a public health crisis in the treatment of infectious diseases and necessitates the discovery of new drugs.
