    Default Poor health!

    Which one is correct?

    My father's health is quite delicate/poor.

    My father is in poor health.

    My father's health is quite delicate does not sound very natural to me, though My father is in delicate health is possible.

    My father's health is quite poor is possible, but My father is in poor health is the one that sounds most natural to me.
