    The definition of health has evolved over time from focusing on the body's ability to function normally to definitions that link health to well-being and not just the absence of disease. While WHO's 1948 definition linking health to physical, mental and social well-being was innovative, it was criticized as being too broad and not measurable.

    The meaning of health has evolved over time.

    In keeping with the biomedical perspective, early definitions of health


    focused on the theme of the body's ability to function; health was seen as a state of normal function that could be
    disrupted from time to time by disease. An example of such a definition of health is: "a state characterized by anatomic,
    physiologic, and psychological integrity; ability to perform personally valued family, work, and community roles; ability
    to deal with physical, biological, psychological, and social stress".[3] Then in 1948, in a radical departure from previous
    definitions, the World Health Organization(WHO) proposed a definition that aimed higher: linking health to well-being,
    in terms of "physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity".[4] Although
    this definition was welcomed by some as being innovative, it was also criticized as being vague, excessively broad and
    was not construed as measurable. For a long time, it was set aside as an impractical ideal and most discussions of health
    returned to the practicality of the biomedical model.[5]
