Furthermore, we looked at the who"s defi(cid:374)itio(cid:374) of health (cid:449)hi(cid:272)h (cid:272)o(cid:373)prised of (cid:272)o(cid:373)po(cid:374)e(cid:374)ts of physical, mental, and social well-being, and not only the absence of disease or infirmity. There are some negatives and positives to this definition. There are two types of models when describing health, a medical model and a social model. Another concept in this lecture was introducing population. A population is a group of individuals with a common characteristic. Common characteristics can include: place of residence, age, gender, ethnicity, religion, occurrence of a life event (eg. giving birth, entering school, serving in military) There are two types of population, fixed and open/dynamic. A fixed population is based on an event and permanent membership (eg. japanese atomic bomb survivors).
