Perceived health refers to an individual's subjective assessment of their overall health and well-being, regardless of their actual physiological condition. This concept takes into account a person's feelings, emotions, and attitudes towards their health, as well as any external factors that may influence their perception. Research in the area of perceived health seeks to understand how individuals evaluate their own health status, how this perception affects their behaviors and decisions related to health, and how it may impact their physical and mental well-being. Researchers often use self-report measures, surveys, and interviews to assess individuals' perceived health and explore its relationship with various factors such as socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle choices, and social determinants of health. Understanding perceived health can help healthcare providers tailor interventions and programs to better meet individuals' needs and improve their overall health outcomes. It can also inform public health campaigns and policies aimed at promoting health and well-being in populations.
