The primary role played by the 'ecological context' in clarifying the causes and dynamics of human health and disease is the topic of this article. It emphasizes that the challenging incidence of cancer and other diseases can be charged primarily to the effects of the worldwide dominant economic model.
Human culture may act as a powerful force affecting the environment, biology and health of humans and other species. Human culture can be viewed as a special and extreme case of 'niche construction', where human-specific traits, technologies and beliefs act together.
The feedback between human activities and the environment can promote different trends in public health. This should provide the opportunity to rethink the consequences that our economic model produces both on the environment and on physical, mental and social health of our species.
本文的主题是“生态环境”在阐明人类健康与疾病的成因及动态变化中所起的主要作用。它强调癌症和其他疾病令人担忧的发病率主要可归因于全球占主导地位的经济模式的影响。
人类文化可能作为一种强大力量，影响人类及其他物种的环境、生物学和健康。人类文化可被视为“生态位构建”的一种特殊且极端的情况，其中人类特有的特征、技术和信仰共同发挥作用。
人类活动与环境之间的反馈能够推动公共卫生出现不同趋势。这应该为重新思考我们的经济模式对环境以及我们这个物种的身体、心理和社会健康所产生的后果提供契机。
