Starter: KEY QUESTION: Is there a difference between fitness and health? Discuss the health and fitness profiles of the characters on the cards. Health profiles available at makingsenseofhealth.org.uk

Learning goals: Understand the difference between health and fitness. Recall the 4 types of pathogens that cause disease.

Health The definition of health by the World Health Organization (WHO) is: "Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

Disease any deviation from the normal structure or function of any body part, organ, or system that is manifested by a characteristic set of symptoms.

Categorising diseases Self-inflicted Deficiency Sexually transmitted Associated with poor/rich countries Mental or physical Age Zoonotic Genetic Infectious Which body part they effect Prion diseases

Parasites Organisms that live in or on another organism (the host).
