The steady development of increasingly sensitive techniques for the study of human structure and function has created new opportunities and new dilemmas in the diagnosis of disease (1).

Disease may now be studied earlier in its course (2), or it may even be predicted before its onset (3). Objective evidence of the efficacy of therapy can be obtained by appropriate studies before and after treatment (4). The prospect exists of determining not only the presence, but also the magnitude of disease in a given subject (5). However, as techniques become more sensitive and disease is detected earlier, or if disease is of a lesser magnitude, the distinction between health and disease gradually becomes less well defined (1). This dilemma also creates the opportunity for a fuller understanding of the relation between health and disease.


Tolerance Tests

Minimally diseased processes can be induced to reveal their abnormality by application of increased loads or resistances to the action of the process. Such load-output studies are the basis of the wide variety of tolerance tests in clinical use today (5), (Table 1).
Table 1. Common Tolerance Tests.
Disease State Test Load Reference
Diabetes Mellitus Glucose (6)
Congestive Heart Failure Venous Inflow (7)
Galactosemia Galactose (8)
Adrenocortical Insufficiency Water (9)
Renal Tubular Acidosis Ammonium Chloride (10)
Malabsorption Syndrome Xylose (11)
Pernicious Anemia Vitamin B12 (12)
Chronic Hepatitis Bromsulphalein (13)
Phenylketonuria Phenylalanine (14)
Familial Hyperlipemia Chylomicrons (15)

Thus, administration of a glucose load and of cortisone resistance to the utilization of glucose can reveal early or minimal diabetes that is not evident under basal conditions (3). Similarly, application of increased venous inflow loads or of aortic outflow resistances can reveal hemodynamic evidence of cardiac failure which is not obvious under basal conditions (7).

As the glucose load or cortisone dosage is progressively increased, an increasing percentage of subjects tested will respond with abnormal glucose utilization, manifested as significant hyperglycemia (16, 17). Similarly, as venous inflow load or aortic outflow resistance is progressively increased, a greater percentage of subjects will demonstrate hemodynamic signs of cardiac failure, manifested as significant elevation of end-diastolic pressure (7).

Thus, whereas patients with frank diabetes mellitus display significant hyperglycemia under basal conditions, and patients with minimal diabetes do so after a test load of 100 grams of glucose orally, patients with latent diabetes may not show significant hyperglycemia until after both glucose loading and pre-treatment with cortisone; healthy subjects may be resistant to even larger amounts of both glucose and cortisone (5). The ease with which significant hyperglycemia occurs under test conditions is a rough quantitative estimate of the severity of the diabetes.

A process being tested thus will fail to act upon all of the test load in a growing proportion of subjects tested, as the size of the test load and resistance applied is progressively increased.


Relativity of Health

The unit of body physiology may be considered to be the body process. A process produces a transformation in some quantity of mass, energy, or information supplied to the process as input load and leaving the process as output (18). The body process is opposed in its action by various resistances, both internal and external to the process. The maximal rate of action of the process at any time is designated as the available capacity of the process, which acts upon the input load while overcoming the resistances to output. Examples of the input load, available capacity, opposing resistances, and process output of diverse body processes are listed in Table 2.

The output of a body process is determined by the functional interaction of the available capacity of the process with the inflow load and outflow resistances (18) (Table 2). Process output is equal to that fraction of the imposed input load that is successfully acted upon by the process. Signals to the capacity from either the input load, the output, or from both input and output mediate self-regulation within the process (Table 2).

When input load and opposing resistances exceed available capacity, the process fails to act upon all of the input presented to the process. The stigmata of such failure are found in that residual fraction of input load which is not acted upon by the process (Table 3).

The magnitude of such residual load is a quantitative measure of the failure or disease of the process (18).

Conversely, when available capacity exceeds input load and resistances, the process has a degree of reserve or tolerance for higher input loads or resistances (Table 4).

The magnitude of such additional tolerated loads is a quantitative measure of the tolerance or health of the process (18).

Tolerance or failure of a body process is thus determined by the balance between process capacity and its applied loads and resistances. The balance can indicate process failure at either low or high levels of process output and performance (48). The state of health or disease within any body process is thus independent of any absolute value of body process output and is determined, rather, in a relative way, reflecting the balance of capacity with load and resistance.

The initiation of a relativist phase of clinical physiology has been predicted for a long time (49), but has occurred only recently (48, 50).


Continuum of Disease

As the load and resistance applied to a process are progressively increased, or as process capacity is progressively decreased, a gradual decrease in tolerance for additional loads results. Eventually a transition from tolerance to failure in acting upon existing loads occurs, followed by a gradual increase in failure (7). The decrease in process health and the gradual increase in process disease is thus a gradual movement along a continuum of values representing the changing balance between process capacity and applied loads and resistances; it is not a sudden discrete jump from one distinct value of health to another of disease (1). The evolution of acquired disease thus follows a continuous progressive course rather than a discontinuous quantal series within body processes.

Even in those diseases associated with the introduction into the patient of a unique system of foreign "information" (51), such as microorganisms, viruses, or antigens, the evolution of the resulting disease follows a gradual movement along a continuum of values representing the balance between the load of dose or virulence of the foreign system introduced and the capacity of those body processes which neutralize or inhibit such loads.

The significance of disease as a continuum is that precursor states of disease are necessarily present in a process before the clinical onset of disease. Increasingly sensitive diagnostic techniques may be able to detect these precursor states and may assist greatly in providing earlier and more opportune therapy or even prevention.

Measurement of Health

A definition of health, while acknowledging the contrast with disease (52, 53), should be expressed in terms independent of disease. The concept of health as a tolerance for additional loads seems to provide such terms; it has the further advantage of being capable of quantitation.

The measurement of load tolerance in a given process is based upon an analysis of the changes in process output that follow from a measured increase in input load or resistance to capacity (54). Generally, resistance to capacity is more difficult to quantitate than input load. As a consequence, the usual technique in clinical tolerance testing has been to apply a standard or increasing input load to the process in question (5) (Table 1). The stigmata of failure in tolerance tests are identical to those determined previously for body processes in the basal state (Table 3), and they are values which are statistically significant in comparison with normal body proceses. Increases in input load to the point of process failure are not required, except when determining maximal tolerance. Load tolerance has been estimated in many body processes (Table 4), and its quantitation seems to be possible in additional processes (Table 5).

Conclusion

The quantitation of health promises to yield valuable data on the earliest onset of disease, on the variability of healthy individuals, and on the efficacy of prophylactic measures before the clinical onset of disease. The concept of load tolerance, derived from the throughput-interaction model of body processes (Table 2), suggests that biological systems may be studied in ways analogous to those used in other disciplines (64) for the examination of behavior varying with time.
