Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The definition was updated in the 1986 WHO Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion to say health is a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living, and health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities.
