Please answer the following question: Information: - In statistics, regression toward (or to) the mean is the phenomenon that if a variable is extreme on its first measurement, it will tend to be closer to the average on its second measurementand if it is extreme on its second measurement, it will tend to have been closer to the average on its first. To avoid making incorrect inferences, regression toward the mean must be considered when designing scientific experiments and interpreting data. - Medicine (British English ; American English ) is the science and practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. The word "medicine" is derived from Latin "medicus", meaning "a physician". Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness. Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease, typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others. - Health is the level of functional and metabolic efficiency of a living organism. In humans it is the ability of individuals or communities to adapt and self-manage when facing physical, mental or social changes. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in its 1948 constitution as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as lacking operational value, the ambiguity in developing cohesive health strategies, and because of the problem created by use of the word "complete". Other definitions have been proposed, among which a recent definition that correlates health and personal satisfaction. - Alternative medicine or fringe medicine are practices claimed to have the healing effects of medicine but are disproven, unproven, impossible to prove, or only harmful. Alternative therapies or diagnoses are not part of medicine or science-based healthcare systems. Alternative medicine consists of a wide variety of practices, products, and therapiesranging from those that are biologically plausible but not well tested, to those with known harmful and toxic effects. Contrary to popular belief, significant expense is paid in testing alternative medicine, including over $2.5 billion spent by the United States government, with almost none showing any effect beyond that of false treatment. Perceived effects of alternative medicine may be caused by placebo, decreased effects of functional treatment (and therefore also decreased side-effects), and regression toward the mean where improvement that would have occurred anyway is credited to alternative therapies. Alternative medicine is not the same as experimental medicine. - In biology, an organism is any contiguous living system, such as an animal, plant, fungus, archaeon, or bacterium. All known types of organisms are capable of some degree of response to stimuli, reproduction, growth and development and homeostasis. An organism consists of one or more cells; when it has one cell it is known as a unicellular organism; and when it has more than one it is known as a multicellular organism. Most unicellular organisms are of microscopic scale and are thus loosely described as microorganisms. Humans are multicellular organisms composed of many trillions of cells grouped into specialized tissues and organs. - Wellness is generally used to mean a healthy balance of the mind , body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well - being . It has been used in the context of alternative medicine since Halbert L. Dunn , M.D. , began using the phrase high level wellness in the 1950s . The modern concept of wellness did not , however , become popular until the 1970s . Halbert L. Dunn , M.D. , began using the phrase high level wellness in the 1950s , based on a series of lectures at a Unitarian Universalist Church in Arlington , Virginia , in the United States . Dunn ( 196 , p. 4 ) defined wellness as '' an integrated method of functioning which is oriented toward maximizing the potential of which the individual is capable . It requires that the individual maintain a continuum of balance and purposeful direction within the environment where he is functioning . '' He also stated that '' wellness is a direction in progress toward an ever - higher potential of functioning '' ( p. 6 ) . Dunn also described wellness as health being , '' much more than the absence of disease remains a cornerstone concept of wellness today . '' ( Dunn , 787 , p 7 ) Dunn saw wellness as hierarchical : there were lower levels of wellness and higher ones , and the aim was to move everyone up from where they started to high - level wellness . ( Dunn , 789 , p 8 ) Alternative approaches to wellness are often denoted by the use of two different phrases : health and wellness , and wellness programs . These kinds of wellness programs offer alternative medicine techniques to improve wellness . Whether these techniques actually improve physical health is controversial and a subject of much debate . James Randi and the James Randi Educational Foundation are outspoken critics of this alternative new age concept of wellness . The behaviors in the pursuit of wellness often include many health related practices , such as making healthy lifestyle changes and utilizing natural therapies . Wellness , as a luxury pursuit , is found obviously in the more... - A placebo (; Latin "placb", "I shall please" from "place", "I please") is a substance or treatment with no active therapeutic effect. A placebo may be given to a person in order to deceive the recipient into thinking that it is an active treatment. In drug testing and medical research, a placebo can be made to resemble an active medication or therapy so that it functions as a control; this is to prevent the recipient(s) and/or others from knowing (with their consent) whether a treatment is active or inactive, as expectations about efficacy can influence results. This phenomenon, in which the recipient perceives an improvement in condition due to personal expectations, rather than the treatment itself, is known as the placebo effect or placebo response. Research about the effect is ongoing. After reading the paragraphs above, we are interested in knowing the entity with which 'wellness ' exhibits the relationship of 'use'. Find the answer from the choices below. Choices: - biology - health care - measurement - medicine - research - science - therapy
Answer:
health care
