salomatlik

Salomatlik is the Uzbek term for health. In everyday usage and in public discourse, it denotes the condition of being physically, mentally, and socially well. The word is commonly used in Uzbekistan and among Uzbek-speaking communities to describe an individual's overall state of well-being.

Like health concepts in other languages, salomatlik encompasses more than the absence of disease. The World Health Organization defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the lack of illness. In Uzbek usage, salomatlik similarly covers physical vigor, emotional balance, and the capacity to participate in daily life.

Determinants of salomatlik include personal behavior, lifestyle choices, genetics, the physical environment, and access to healthcare. Protective factors include balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, vaccination, hygiene, stress management, and social support. Structural factors such as clean water, air quality, safe housing, education, and economic stability also play a key role.

Health systems seek to protect and improve salomatlik through prevention, early diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Public health measures, primary care, health education, and universal or accessible healthcare services contribute to higher life expectancy and lower disease burden. Monitoring health indicators, such as morbidity, mortality, and life expectancy, informs policy and resource allocation.
