The Hippocratic text On Airs, Waters, Places advises physicians to attend to all aspects of the environment-the seasons, the wind direction, and the soil and water quality, i.e., the ecosystem-when addressing people's health. Hippocrates emphasizes that the ecosystem influences health, disease, and therapeutic choices. Now is the time to consider how this medical wisdom can be integrated into healthcare systems and utilized for people's health. This review discusses how the ecosystem can affect blood pressure (BP) in humans and provides a synthesis of the related resources available in the literature to inform the actions of healthcare providers.
希波克拉底的著作《空气、水和地点》建议医生在关注人们健康时，要考虑环境的各个方面——季节、风向以及土壤和水质，即生态系统。希波克拉底强调，生态系统会影响健康、疾病和治疗选择。现在是时候考虑如何将这种医学智慧融入医疗保健系统，为人们的健康服务了。本综述讨论了生态系统如何影响人类的血压（BP），并综合了文献中相关资源，为医疗保健提供者的行动提供信息。
