it is asserted that a clear definition<br />

of health is lacking, and the concept of<br />

health is often used without clearly defining<br />

what it means. Health is also associated<br />

konstateras att det saknas ett entydigt hälsobegrepp<br />

och att begreppet hälsa ofta<br />

används utan att det närmare preciseras<br />

värderingar, kulturmönster och är förän-<br />
