The Scope of Understanding of the Concept of "Health Behavior" and the Conditions of Human Health Activity

Summary/Abstract: The concept of "health behaviour" is defined depending on the field of science (psychology, medicine, sociology and pedagogy). The basic determinant of health behaviours among other human behaviours is the fact that they remain consistently indifferent to health. Nowadays, the study of health behaviours is considered an important method of measuring the health status of the population, which is also the basis for planning and evaluation of health education, development of prevention programs and health promotion projects. Factors influencing the shaping of a given behaviour include personal patterns at home, nursery, school, local community, mass media, advertising, etc. Childhood and youth are the periods that determine the health behaviours and lifestyles of adults. Many factors determine the nature of the health behaviours presented. It is sometimes difficult to determine to what extent they depend on certain objective conditions inducing the individual to express a greater concern for one's own health by taking action to protect one's health.
