摘要：

This study describes children's conception of health within the context of their daily life. Participants were boys and girls (n=1,674) from three age groups(5-6, 8-9, and 11-12 years old) from different socio-economic living environments in urban and rural areas. In general, the results indicate that children's conception of health is multidimensional and is rooted in their dairy-life experiences. Essentially, it is organized around three main dimensions, functionality, adherence to good lifestyle health habits, and mental hearth. Variations by age and living environment differences suggest that children's conception of health may reflect differences in their organization of information into schemata on the basis of their experience as well as structural changes in cognitive development.
