The present study was investigate the relationships between the life pattern, the symptoms of mental consciousness, and the healthy balance of mind and body, concerning about how people evaluate their own health. The total number of one hundred fifty (male, 66; female, 64) subjects were used in this study. The average age was 27.3 years old. The subjects were asked to answer the 145 questions: The 24 items were the body features; the 12 items were the life pattern, 25 items were the symptoms of mental consciousness; and 84 items were the healthy balance of mind and body. Factor analysis indicated the following factors: the circulation and the nervous system; the respiration system; the circulation and the kidney system; the liver system; the dermal system; the systems of stomach and intestines; the regulation system of temperature; and the tasting system. It was found that the similar correspondence between the results of the factor analysis and the Chinese traditional theory of Five Natural Elements (i.e., Fire; Wood; Earth; Metal; and Water). The present definition of health does not progress from the definition of World Health Organization (WHO) which was proposed in the year of 1946: "Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Not only the idea in the Western medicine since the Descartes but also the idea in the Oriental medicine are the important aspect when we think about the meaning of health.
