Fraktal yapısıyla karakterize doğrusal olmayan (nonlineer), kompleks, dinamik sistemlerle ilgilenen kaos teorisi, geçen
20 yılda bilimin hemen tüm alanlarını etkilemiştir. Yaşam bilimleri, biyolojik sistemlerin kompleks yapıları nedeniyle,
kaos teorisinin en iyi uygulanma alanlardan biridir. Bu yazıda, canlı ve cansız çevrenin doğrusal olmayan ve kompleks
sistemlerine ait kısa tanımlamalardan sonra, teorinin temel özellikleri daha detaylı tartışılacaktır. Sağlıklı sistemlerin
hayatları boyunca kompleks yapısını sürdürdüğü ve kaotik olduğu kabul edilmektedir. Kompleks yapının ya da kaotik
özelliğin kaybı hastalığı karşımıza çıkarır. Kaos teorisinden sonra sağlık ve hastalık hakkındaki birçok klasik düşünce
tartışılır hale gelmiştir. Kaos teorisini öğrenmek önemlidir, çünkü bu teori sağlık davranışı ve hastalıkların altında yatan
gerçek mekanizmaları anlamamızda ve hastalara daha uygun tedavileri vermemizde yeni ufuklar açabilir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Kaos teorisi, hastalık, sağlık.

The theory of chaos, which deals with nonlinear complex dynamic systems characterized by fractal-based structure, has affected almost every fi eld of science in the last 20 years. Life sciences are one of the most applicable areas for chaos theory because of the complexity of biological systems. In this paper, after brief description of nonlinear and complex systems of living and non-living environment, the basic principles of the theory are discussed more detailed. It is widely accepted that healthy systems maintain complexity in lifetime and are chaotic. Loss of complexity or loss of chaos leads to disease. Many classical opinions about health and disease become arguable after chaos theory. Learning chaos theory is crucial, since it may open new horizons to understand the valid mechanism underlying health behavior and diseases, and deliver more appropriate therapy to the patients.
