Ordet sygdom er ikke klart defineret, men kan både være et sprogligt og et videnskabeligt begreb.	The word 'disease' is not well defined but can be both a language and a scientific concept.
Sygdom har altid været en del af menneskets historie og har til tider præget menneskeheden meget voldsomt.	Disease has always been a part of human history and has at times affected the human race enormously.
De ældste skriftlige beskrivelser af sygdom er mere end 4000 år gamle, men arkæologiske fund har vist tegn efter både polio og tuberkulose helt tilbage fra stenalderen.	The oldest written descriptions of disease are more than 4000 years old, but arkeological findings have shown signs of both polio and tuberculosis going back as far the stone age.
Helt tilbage til oldtiden har man forsøgt, at forklare hvorfor sygdomme opstod.	Since antiquity, humans have tried to explain why diseases came about.
Forklaringerne har skiftet meget igennem tiden, afhængig af kultur, tro og hvilken viden der var til rådighed.	Explanations have varied though the ages, depending on the culture, beliefs, and the knowledge available at the time.
Forklaringsmodellerne kan deles i folkelige og videnskabelige.	The explanation paradigms can be divided into popular or scientific.
De folkelige sygdomsforklaringer er de forklaringer, som er alment accepteret i en befolkning.	The popular explanations are ones that are generally accepted by the population.
Fx er det alment kendt i vesten, at brugen af halstørklæde forebygger øvre luftvejsinfektioner.	For example, in the West, the use of scarves is generally thought to prevent upper respiratory infections.
Videnskabelige sygdomsmodeller bruges indenfor forskning til at forklare empiriske observationer.	The scientific disease models are used within research to explain empirical observations.
Folkelige forklaringer er ofte dogmatiske og ændre sig kun over lang tid, mens videnskabelige modeller er dynamiske og ændre sig med ny viden.	The popular explanations are frequently dogmatic and change slowly with time, while the scientific models are more dynamic and change with new knowledge.
Nogle forklaringer kan være pseudovidenskabelige, hvilket vil sige, at man forsøger at underbygge den med videnskabelige begreber, men uden, at der er videnskabelig evidens for forklaringen.	Some explanations can be pseudo-scientific, meaning that one tries to support it with the scientific concepts but without there being scientific evidence for the explanation.
Dette ses hyppigt inden for alternativ behandling, men forekommer også inden for etableret medicin.	This is often seen within alternative therapy, but also found within established medicine.
