Encyclopedia Britannica



HYGIENE (Fr. hygiene, from Gr. ir'taivety, to be healthy)

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 175 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HYGIENE (Fr. hygiene, from Gr. ir'taivety, to be healthy) , the science of preserving health, its
practical
  aim being to render " growth more perfect, decay less rapid, life more vigorous, death more remote." The subject is thus a very wide one, embracing all the agencies which affect the physical and mental well-being of man, and it requires acquaintance with such diverse sciences as physics,
chemistry
 , geology, engineering, architecture, meteorology, epidemiology, bacteriology and
statistics
 . On the personal or individual side it involves consideration of the character and quality of food and of water and other beverages; of clothing; of
work
 , exercise and sleep; of personal cleanliness, of
special
  habits, such as the use of tobacco,
narcotics
 , &c.; and of
control
  of sexual and other passions. In its more general and public aspects it must take
cognizance
  of meteorological conditions, roughly included under the
term
  climate; of the site or soil on which dwellings are placed; of the character, materials and arrangement of dwellings, whether regarded individually or in relation to other houses among which they stand; of their
heating
  and ventilation; of the removal of excreta and other effete matters; of medical knowledge relating to the incidence and prevention of disease; and of the disposal of the dead.
These topics will be found treated in such articles as DIETETICS,
