Human health culture and its relationship to chronic disease

Abstract

The subject of health culture in the human society relates to the field of study of medical sociology and social psychology as two disciplines concerned with psychological and social health issues, or more precisely the extent to which these and other sciences relate to the safety of man and society and his physical, mental, emotional and occupational health. On the other hand, it should be noted the importance of health culture as one of the facts and constants of life, and also because it is a phenomenon of concern to the general public and private ones, as there is hardly a person on the face of the earth during his life who did not suffer or recognize any form of disease of all kinds, even in its simplest cases. Thus, if one realizes the nature of diseases, he inevitably aspires to the importance of health, because disease, whatever its type, is a deviation from the natural state of the body to the extent that the physiological capabilities of the tissues become unable to return the body to its normal state or bring about the natural balance of the organs with their functions and capabilities. In the field of social diseases, for example, Talcott-Parsons believes that this type is the deviation of the members from the social system because of the imbalance in performing social roles and functions in the usual way. Therefore, we believe in the field of medical sociology that disease states and their relationship to society have organic links and environmental effects, as we sometimes talk about epidemic diseases in which the role of the natural environment and the human environment also enters. A huge burden on the shoulders of the individual, society and the state, but more than that, it made the daily deaths and constantly and increases the intensity of attention and concern, and this was not limited to the industrialized world only, but also increased excessively in the developing world and the countries of the Arab world, such as Algeria, which have been living for long periods of epidemiological transformations that made chronic diseases a health problem A serious or rather a healthy cultural setback that has a close relationship with the circumstances surrounding the average person, his level of education, his culture and his formation, which affects the functions of his physiological organs.
