Health Status

Health status refers to an individual's overall physical and mental well-being at a given time. It encompasses various factors, including the presence of diseases or conditions, lifestyle choices (like diet and exercise), access to healthcare, and social influences. Good health status generally means a person is free from significant illness and can perform daily activities effectively. Conversely, poor health status may involve chronic diseases, disabilities, or mental health issues that impact quality of life. Understanding health status helps in assessing healthcare needs and making informed decisions about treatment and wellness.
