Abstract
In our opinion the definition of the concept of health, the problem of making it complete, is of great importance for humanity. It has existed, exists and will always continue to exist. That is why there is the need to reconsider the issue of the models of today’s healthy personality, since you can enjoy life completely only if you are healthy. The author of the paper emphasizes that it is very difficult to reproduce all the definitions of the concept of health known by scientists today, therefore they are grouped, the opinions (views or approaches) are defined creating the basis for the interpretation of the term and the differences in their meaning are indicated. Medical, physical, mental, social, and spiritual components in the structure of person’s health are identified in this paper. According to the author of this publication, a healthy person is a person who has no diseases, painful conditions or painful changes and physical disabilities, who is endowed with harmonious physical and mental development, is well adapted to physical and social environment, completely realizes his or her physical and mental abilities, is able to get used to changes only when they do not exceed the norm, and makes his contribution, commensurate with his/her abilities, to the community welfare. The author points out that the choice of the components of generalized concept of health playing the fundamental role or minor one, depends on each individual, because only a person is responsible for his or her own health, lifestyle, well-being, order or confusion in the soul. Despite that, it is noted here that at present we are observing a persistent tendency to deteriorate health; therefore, special attention should be paid to the medical component in the structure of health status of the young person who is getting a higher education
