Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
A healthy person is physically, mentally, and socially fit. A healthy person is free from diseases, but no condition does not mean healthy. Being healthy has two other factors; the mental and social health of a person, which depends on social and environmental factors. Let's consider this in the context of some communities in our society. We can say that the lower castes like the Dalits, OBCs, and the marginal groups like Women were, for a long time in the past, prone to a highly unhealthy social environment in which they had to face a lot of exploitation and humiliation from society people which made them sick. Hence the correct statement would be that a healthy person is physically, mentally, and socially fit.
