The level of health of a person or group of people that is measured either by the person or people themselves and/or by scientific means. The level is usually based on the patients’ ability to carry out everyday activities such as dress and feed themselves or freedom from pain. For example, the status may be measured according to whether a person can walk by themselves, walk with a stick, needs a wheelchair or is bedridden. HTAI
