La salud (del latín salus, -utis) es un estado de bienestar o de equilibrio que puede ser visto a nivel subjetivo (un ser humano asume como aceptable el estado general en el que se encuentra) o a nivel objetivo (se constata la ausencia de enfermedades o de factores dañinos en el sujeto en cuestión). El término salud se contrapone al de enfermedad, y es objeto de especial atención por parte de la medicina y de las ciencias de la salud.

Health is the level of functional and metabolic efficiency of a living organism. In humans it is the ability of individuals or communities to adapt and self-manage when facing physical, mental or social challenges. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in its 1948 constitution as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as lacking operational value and because of the problem created by use of the word "complete". Other definitions have been proposed, among which a recent definition that correlates health and personal satisfaction. Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications, including the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), are commonly used to define and measure the components of health.
