PIP: Life expectancy slowly and steadily increased during the course of the 20th century resulting in a change in the concept of health for both individuals and society. This has been primarily the consequence of the reduction of infant and early childhood mortality and the control of major infectious diseases. Fear of dying has been replaced by the dedication to survival, health, and production, and science and technology have contributed much to creating this pattern of thinking. Lawrence Henderson recognized adaptability as a basic biological phenomenon. The relation between nutritional requirements and homeostatic mechanisms is significant. Beyond a certain threshold, the latter cannot prevent impairments resulting from undernutrition, but the establishment of this threshold involves a complex process. In addition to being an end for each person, health is also regarded as a means for society. These ideas seem embodied in the World Health Organization's (WHO's) definition of health: "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease of infirmity." The main and perennial problem is how to translate the ideal into practical reality. Recognition of health as a right has strengthened the acceptance of its role as a determinant of development. An important cluster of determinants of health and disease stems from the health services, and these have changed in both concept and in practice, particularly following World War 2. Health care, being a basic need, was conceived as a service to be provided, even imposed by the central authorities, to those entrenched in their traditions. Currently, there is movement from paternalism to community participation. It has become essential to catalyze the community for it is a vast potential source of cooperation in carrying out activities for disease prevention and cure throughout the world. A series of circumstances have supported the renaissance of the primary health care movement in the world. The contributing factors--the bases for actual or forthcoming changes in health services--are identified. Regarding nutrition, in the last 30 years there has been a rebirth of nutrition as a social problem. Through system analysis, the determinants of chronic undernutrition have been identified, and from such an examination, malnutrition emerges as a problem of overall development. At this time the coverage of programs aimed at the social sectors--health, education, population, food subsidies, housing--is neither sufficient nor efficient. Many societies need to institute profound changes in policies, objectives, structures, investments, and technologies for guaranteeing adequate food intake. Suggestions are made for the promotion of nutrition.
