Health: World Health Organization
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being
and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The correct bibliographic citation for the definition is:
Preamble to the Constitution of the World Health Organization as adopted by the International Health
Conference, New York, 19-22 June, 1946; signed on 22 July 1946 by the representatives of 61 States (Official
Records of the World Health Organization, no. 2, p. 100) and entered into force on 7 April 1948.
The Definition has not been amended since 1948.
Population: 3 a : a body of persons or individuals having a
quality or characteristic in common http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/population
Professional: c (1) : characterized by or conforming to
the technical or ethical standards of a profession (2) : exhibiting a
courteous, conscientious, and generally businesslike manner in
the workplace http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/professional
Definition of Population Health
The health outcomes of a group of
individuals, including the distribution of
such outcomes within the group. It is an
approach to health that aims to improve
the health of an entire human
population. Kindig D, Stoddard G, Models for Population Health, AJPH 2003, 90(3):380-383
