What is the narrow perspective of health?
Health Education Health 100 Version 3 / Narrow Perspectives of Health
"A narrow perspective considers health to be the absence of disease, disability, or biological dysfunction. This model focuses on the physical and physiological capabilities needed to perform routine tasks and treats the body like a mechanical device that experts repair when something goes wrong. Social, emotional, and psychological factors are generally excluded from this view."
