| Physical Health (physical dimension of health) | Relates to the efficient functioning of the body and its systems, and includes the physical capacity to perform tasks and physical fitness |
| Health Status | An individual's or population's overall health, taking into account various aspects such as life expectancy, amount of disability and levels of disease risk factors. |
| Social Health (social dimensions of health) | Being able to interact with other and participate in the community in both an independent and co-operative way. |
