WHO Definition of Health Components

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

Key Elements of Health Definition

  • Physical well-being (A): This refers to the overall condition of the body and its ability to function properly.
  • Mental well-being (B): This encompasses emotional and psychological health, including cognitive function and emotional stability.
  • Social well-being (C): This relates to an individual's ability to interact positively with others and function effectively within their community and environment.

Exclusion from WHO Definition

Political stability and conflicts (D) are not directly included as components in the WHO's core definition of health. While political factors can significantly influence physical, mental, and social well-being, they are considered external determinants rather than intrinsic parts of the health state itself.

Conclusion

Based on the WHO's definition, the elements included are Physical well-being (A), Mental well-being (B), and Social well-being (C).

Therefore, the most appropriate answer includes options A, B, and C only.
