Abstract
The authors compiled the definitions of health so far given by WHO and other organs and researchers, and reviewed the concept of health in terms of physiological anthropology. The authors reached the conclusion that health is a state brought about by favorable relation between the environment and humans, as well as a state in which each individual can manifest innate abilities sufficiently. A more healthy environment thus needs to be created.
