It can be to be in good shape despite having something against it.

A pesar de sus 80 años, Don Pedro está entero.

Juan tuvo un infarto hace dos años y pese a todo, está entero.

El esposo de Ana murió hace dos semanas, pero ella está entera.

Indeed excellent examples!

So I guess maybe 'entero/a' could be seen as more or less equivalent to 'in tact'?

It also dependes on the context. There's ways, like for example:

"fué a ver el jamón, y aún estaba entero" = "he went to ckeck the ham, and it was still whole".

Or:

"el toro estaba muy entero" = "the bull was very much alive/angry".

Saludos, t.

@Turissa: you can edit your postings and leave an explanatory note on why you edited them.

Btw, "fué" doesn't carry an accent.

Talking about male animals, "estar entero" means that he's not castrated (for instance, un toro de lidia está siempre entero, un buey (ox) no lo está)
