Self-Rated Subhealth Status Questionnaire – Chinese Version

Description

Sub-health status is a new concept in international medicine, referring to a state where the human body is between health and disease. Individuals in a sub-health state cannot meet health standards, showing symptoms such as reduced vitality and decreased functions and adaptability over a certain period, but do not meet the clinical or subclinical diagnostic criteria for disease according to modern medicine. Sub-health can be divided into three aspects: physical sub-health, psychological sub-health, and social sub-health. This state is constantly evolving; if handled properly, it can transition to health, while neglect can lead to various diseases. Currently, most experts advocate that effective methods for preventing and treating sub-health are self-regulation. Properly assessing oneself, maintaining a good mindset, and having pleasant and stable emotions are essential to successfully overcome sub-health. Therefore, it is important to reasonably arrange work, study, and life, achieve a balance of work and rest, and manage stress through active social support and coping strategies. Healthy lifestyle choices are effective and feasible for recovering health and controlling the onset of sub-health.
