Complexity of physical health of the person

Abstract

In this article, we present the main points on which modern medicine relies in the diagnosis of diseases and health. The treatment of the concept of health, the essence of which is its multicomponent, is considered. Sensitive age periods of ontogenesis, the main components of physical health and their dynamism in its formation are listed, the role of morphofunctional features and energy potential of the organism, the regulation of the activity of physiological systems, as well as their interaction with environmental factors with respect to the change in the level of somatic health are highlighted. Since "health" is perceived as an integral category, its study should be systemic, considering both the morphofunctional features of the individual and all kinds of adaptive activity of physiological systems. The need for a quantitative assessment of the person's physical health at different stages of ontogenesis is explained, since only their comprehensive study with qualitative indicators contributes to the most complete understanding of the essence of the processes that are taking place. In this context, as an example, the results of the author's research in the field of diagnosing the somatic health of children are presented using her own developed algorithm, when each level of physical health is a completely independent model, differing at least one by its component and having an appropriate value.
