You should turn the chart so that the 4th House becomes the 1st House, and read it like so. Problems should be revealed by any detriments, and as you expressed concern for their health, afflictions to the 6th House ruler.

The ruler of the 6th house represents disease, not health(at least in traditional astrology it has always been so; moderns have their own theories of how things should function).
Health is represented by the Ascendant and its ruler and the Moon. Any afflictions to these three is not good for health, especially when they are worsted by the ruler of the 6th, 12th or 8th, planets posited in these houses, or when they are adversely aspected by the malefics and so on.

Let me revise my statement, I was rather cursory. 6th House represents one's ability to function and 'do work', perform duties. However, you are right CS, it would be wrong to look only at the 6th House ruler, I don't think that health indicators should be limited to the 6th House.

Again:
In Medical Matters:
This house is one of the main indicators of disease generally so its condition, ruling planet and any planets contained within it will describe the nature of the illness and whether its origin is physical or psychological. If its planetary ruler is retrograde the disease is likely to be recurring. If the ruler of the ascendant is strong and well placed and the 6th house ruler is weak, the patient has the means to overcome the disease. Specifically it rules the lower part of the belly and smaller intestine, the guts, liver and kidneys.
The point I was trying to make is that the 6th house has nothing to do with health/vitality, as the above quote also clearly demonstrates, but everything to do with disease which are two entirely different things.

So when you state:
I don't think that health indicators should be limited to the 6th House.
I have to disagree again, because health indicators cannot be obtained from the 6th house - the(general) disease indicators can.
Maybe it's just the way you use the term "health" that causes the misunderstanding here - I suppose it is in the broadest sense of the word so that it also encompasses all the possible problems, i.e. diseases which can cause damage to that health?

Yes, I guess I was just being very general. To be quite honest, I never really looked at the 6th House for 'health' matters, mostly for matters having to do with work, and I see the link with disease, because work itself is an inconvenience that we all have to deal with, as is disease. If the 6th and its ruler are 'good', we handle work and disease well.

I see what you mean and thank you for clarifying that. My apologies for being careless.

One can be full of vitality and still have a 'health' problem or disease.
