Health Status
Health status refers to an individual's overall physical and mental well-being. It encompasses various factors, including the presence of diseases, disabilities, and the ability to perform daily activities. Health status can be assessed through medical evaluations, self-reported health surveys, and lifestyle choices.
Several indicators contribute to health status, such as body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. Additionally, social determinants like access to healthcare, nutrition, and exercise play a significant role. Understanding health status helps identify areas for improvement and guides interventions to enhance quality of life.
