title: New models of health and diseases--holistic and life-span developmental approach.
abstract: New models which have been growing in health and medical related disciplines were reviewed. Human life and development are the process by which individuals interact with their environment and innumerable variables. Therefore it is a limitation to depend on traditional disease model only in rapidly changing developed-countries. Several health related models may provide a useful strategy to multidisciplinary investigators for prevention oriented research and practice, though they have to be specialized in each discipline.
