What is the broader perspective of health?
Health Education Health 100 Version 3 / Broader Perspectives of Health
"The World Health Organization defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, rather than merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Well-being includes positive emotions, satisfaction with life, fulfillment, and positive functioning. Higher levels of well-being are associated with lower risks of disease, better immune functioning, faster recovery, increased longevity, greater productivity, and stronger community participation."
