Disease

Enfermedad

A disease is, in general terms, a process and, also, the consequent status of affection of a living being, characterized by a detrimental alteration of his state of health. The state or process of disease can be caused by several factors both intrinsic and extrinsic to the diseased organism: these factors are called noxas. Health and disease are an integral part of life, the biological process, and environmental and social interactions. Generally, the disease is understood as the loss of health, whose negative effect is a consequence of a structural or functional alteration of an organ at any level. The sick girl, by Gabriël Metsu. The Doctor, by Samuel Luke Fildes.

La salud y la enfermedad son parte integral de la vida, del proceso biológico y de las interacciones medio ambientales y sociales. Generalmente, se entiende a la enfermedad como la pérdida de la salud, cuyo efecto negativo es consecuencia de una alteración estructural o funcional de un órgano a cualquier nivel.
