Health science is the applied science dealing with
health, and it includes many subdisciplines. See also health science academic disciplines.There are two approaches to health science: the study and
research of the human body and health-related issues to understand how humans (and animals) function, and the application of that knowledge to improve health and to prevent and cure
diseases. Health research builds upon the basic sciences of
biology,
chemistry, and
physics as well as a variety of multidisciplinary fields (for example
medical sociology). Some of the other primarily research-oriented fields that make exceptionally significant contributions to health science are
biochemistry,
epidemiology, and
genetics. See also
life sciences and life science academic disciplines.
