Abstract
The overarching goal of health systems is to improve the health of the population. Health is traditionally defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being.1 However, it can also be understood in a more functional sense, as seen in the concept of positive health, which focuses on aspects such as resilience, sense of purpose, meaningfulness, and self-management. Positive health is specifically defined as the ability to adapt and self-manage when faced with the social, physical, and emotional challenges of life. 2 Enhancing health should also be viewed from a longitudinal perspective, encompassing the prevention of premature mortality, the attainment of additional healthy life years, and ultimately, the achievement of healthy longevity.
