“…In this study, several participants mentioned an ongoing disability even though they reported good recovery, health and well-being. This supports that it is not the absence of disease or disability that defines health [ 10 ] and that long-term follow-up of unidentified disabilities can be valuable. This was also described in an earlier study when full recovery was reported by persons with TBI after 10 years or more, even though they experienced persistent problems that affected their daily lives [ 56 ].…”

“…The definition of health established by WHO in 1948 [ 8 ] has been developed with a focus on well-being and the ability to adapt and self-manage one’s life [ 9 ]. Health is also described in a contemporary way as disease and disabilities co-existing together with health along a continuum from total health to total absence of health and from something temporary or limited to something more permanent [ 10 ]. Well-being covers a more individual, subjective and holistic view and is often described in narratives and interviews on the basis of, for example, personal feelings [ 11 , 12 ].…”

Purpose: To explore the health and well-being of persons seven years after severe traumatic brain injury (STBI). Material and methods: Follow-up of 21 persons 1 and 7 years after STBI using surveys for functional outcome, anxiety/depression, health and mental fatigue. Interviews were conducted and analysed using qualitative content analysis. Convergent parallel mixed method then merged and analysed the results into an overall interpretation. Results: Good recovery, high functional outcome and overall good health were relatively unchanged between 1 and 7 years. Well-being was a result of adaptation to a recovered or changed life situation. Persons with good recovery had moved on in life. Persons with moderate disability self-estimated their health as good recovery but reported poorer well-being. For persons with severe disability, adaptation was an ongoing process and health and well-being were low. Only a few persons reported anxiety and depression. They had poorer health but nevertheless reported well-being. Persons with moderate and severe mental fatigue had low functional outcomes and overall health and none of them reported well-being. Conclusions: The life of a person who has suffered STBI is still affected to a lesser or greater degree several years after injury due to acceptance of a recovered or changed life situation. Further studies are needed on how health and well-being can be improved after STBI in the long-term perspective.

“…Regardless of the therapeutic strategy, pain treatment must focus on restoring functionality and physiological well-being. In harmony with the World Health Organization definition of health that is intended as a "state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" and other new proposed definitions [17,18], functionality can be viewed as the ability to ambulate, function cognitively, return to work, and complete activities of daily living including the absence of mood and sleep disturbances. This point of view has paramount implications for practice, policy, and health services since the management of functional impairment in patients with chronic pain is a collection of unmet needs concerning assessment, therapy, and rehabilitation processes.…”

“…In this new concept, health is transformed from disease-free to a state centered on the fullness of life. [1][2][3][4] The Ministry of Health and Welfare of the Republic of Korea directly asks regulated sandbox consumers Direct to Customer (DTC) to conduct a consumer participation study of a special case of genetic testing on December 30, 2019. It was revealed that it started with approval.…”

“…Health includes the unity of body and mind, and recognizes the impact of sociological, environmental, and behavioral factors. Appropriate measurement tools are required to understand and apply definitions among key stakeholder groups 4. DTC genetic testing has been discussed and criticized from perspectives including biomedical, commercial, ethical, legal, regulatory, and participating locations.…”

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus disease 19 is attracting worldwide attention and has been declared an infectious disease by the World Health Organization (WHO), and accordingly, interest and meaning in health and well-being are expanding in recent years. Aims: This paper attempted to investigate the recognition and development potential of customized cosmetics focusing on inner beauty products through DTC (Direct to Customer) genetic testing in the era of COVID-19 pandemic. Patients/Methods: The number of women included in the survey of consumers living in Seoul metropolitan city ranged from 40 to 60, and 380 women in Republic of Korea. Statistical processing of the data collected by the data analysis method is analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) WIN25.0 statistical package program through the process of data coding and data cleansing.Results: In this study, the DTC genetic test, single, and/or combination treatment for customized inner beauty products and customized cosmetics were compared and analyzed, respectively. Accordingly, in keeping with the rapidly changing market conditions, we sought to study customized inner beauty and customized cosmetics recognition and purchasing behavior through DTC genetic testing in the unexplored era after COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, it was significantly more effective to use customized inner beauty and customized cosmetics after DTC genetic test (p < 0.001). Conclusion:This study emphasizes that after the global COVID-19 pandemic worldwide that occurred after January 2020, the definition of health persistence, wellness, and well-dying associated with beauty and cosmetology is also evolving from the DTC genetic test. In our results, it was found for the first time that the intake of customized inner beauty preparations and the use of customized cosmetics would be more effective. In the above significant research results, it is believed that research on the combinational effect of customized inner beauty products and customized cosmetics is required in the global DTC genetic testing market.
