Disease development may involve changes to normal anatomy or physiology
These changes can be obvious or hidden, with origins at the cellular level

Disease Definition

A disease is a deviation from the normal structure or function of any part, organ, system, or combination of these.

Health Definition

A state of health includes physical, mental, and social well-being, as defined by the World Health Organization.
