Health is defined through the lens of adaptivity, which serves as a core feature of the framework for understanding physiological regulation and viability as described in [1] and [2]. Furthermore, adaptivity operationalizes the concept of health by focusing on the capacity to modify physiological resources in changing environments, as noted in [3], [4], and [5].

claimHealth is characterized by adaptivity and versatility, which is the capacity of an organism to recruit physiological resources to modify itself to maintain viability in changing circumstances.
claimAdaptivity, versatility, and change are the three defining features of the framework for the relationship between homeostasis and health.
claimThe view of health based on adaptivity and change operationalizes health by identifying multiple mechanisms involved in physiological regulation, rather than relying on classical accounts of health as well-being and the absence of disease.
claimThe view of health based on adaptivity and change rejects the assumption that balance is the core of health and avoids the limitations associated with the cybernetic view of health.
referenceMenatti, Bich, and Saborido (2022) propose a situated relational account of health and environment, moving from the concept of adaptation to adaptivity.
