Mercoledì 13 marzo 2024 ore 16.00, presso l’Auditorium Prima Clinica Medica (Edificio 6) del Policlinico Umberto I, si terrà una conferenza dell’Accademia Medica Romana nella quale Paolo Vineis, Chair in Environmental Epidemiology, MRC Centre for Environment and Health, School of Public Health, Imperial College London, parlerà sul tema:
“Alle radici delle pandemie: le cause remote”

Planetary health refers to “the health of human civilization and the state of the natural systems on which it depends”. A key contribution to better understanding of Planetary health has come from the scientific contributions of the Stockholm Resilience Centre. I will discuss the concept of “planetary boundaries” and their implications for human health, with emphasis on communicable diseases. There is a close relationship between planetary health and human health. Intervening on risk factors for noncommunicable diseases could achieve a reduction of between 30% and 40% of premature deaths in HIC, and would substantially contribute to the avoidance of future pandemics. Conversely, many of the preventive actions for human diseases have also a positive impact on the environmental crisis, including climate change.
