The "One Health" concept has resulted in a rich research literature that integrates human and animal systems, with a focus on zoonotic diseases; however, this narrow focus is at the expense of one of the leading causes of global human mortality: non-infectious, chronic diseases. Here, we provide a viewpoint that applying the integrated One Health framework to public health issues such as the impact of stressful urban environments on the process of human aging has the potential to elucidate potential causal mechanisms that have previously gone unnoticed. Given the success of the One Health paradigm in studying human health in rural areas, we posit that this model would be a useful tool for studying human, animal, and environmental interactions in urban settings.
“同一健康”概念催生了丰富的研究文献,这些文献整合了人类和动物系统,重点关注人畜共患病;然而,这种狭隘的关注点是以全球人类死亡的主要原因之一为代价的:非传染性慢性病。在此,我们提出一种观点,即将整合的“同一健康”框架应用于公共卫生问题,如压力大的城市环境对人类衰老过程的影响,有可能阐明此前未被注意到的潜在因果机制。鉴于“同一健康”范式在研究农村地区人类健康方面取得的成功,我们认为该模型将成为研究城市环境中人类、动物和环境相互作用的有用工具。
