[...] un diagnostic qui devient une statistique de la morbidité n'est pas très révélateur du véritable niveau de fonctionnement d'une personne, et les indicateurs de la morbidité ne peuvent tenir compte des aspects positifs de la santé. C'est pourquoi on a créé une gamme d'indicateurs subjectifs appelés «échelles de mesure de la santé». Cependant, mesurer un concept aussi abstrait que la santé est un défi en soi. Contrairement à la morbidité, la santé n'est pas définie par des indicateurs spécifiques pouvant servir de paramètres de mesure [...] 1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chelle%20de%20mesure%20de%20la%20sant%C3%A9
