Health status: the observable clinical finding about a person’s health state.

and/or bodily processes of an organism at a defined point in time, which reflects the functionality of the
organism’s physical, mental and social capacities at that point of time.

of an continuant at a defined point in time
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
