Research on how place affects health continues to grow. Within the place-health research field, there is increasing focus on how place becomes embodied-i.e., how place-based social and environmental experiences and exposures "get under our skin" to affect physiological functioning and health. While much has been learned, currently favored place-embodiment research approaches present limitations that inhibit continued gains in understanding. This article presents a brief summary of place-health literature related to place-embodiment, highlighting common approaches. Core limitations are then discussed with an eye towards improving research going forward, highlighting mixed-method, spatially dynamic, and participatory intergenerational approaches as promising considerations.
有关环境影响健康的研究不断增加。在环境健康研究领域，人们越来越关注环境是如何体现在我们身上的，也就是说，基于环境的社会和环境体验及暴露是如何“深入我们的皮肤”，从而影响生理功能和健康的。虽然已经取得了很多成果，但目前流行的环境体现研究方法存在局限性，阻碍了对这一问题的进一步理解。本文简要总结了与环境体现相关的环境健康文献，重点介绍了常见的方法。然后讨论了核心局限性，以期改进今后的研究，强调混合方法、空间动态和参与式代际方法是有前途的考虑因素。
