The health and life outcomes of individuals are intertwined with the context in which they grow and live. The totality of exposures one experiences affects health in the short term and throughout the life course. Environmental exposure to multiple contaminants can increase stress levels in individuals and neighborhoods with psychosocial stressors such as crime, drug and alcohol misuse, and violence also taking a toll on individual and neighborhood wellbeing. In addition, the availability, organization, and quality of local institutions and infrastructure all affect health in the short and long term. The role of these factors in endometrial cancer will be explored in this paper. In addition, policy implications regarding lead, chronic physiological stress, and endometrial cancer will be explored to ascertain the impact of these factors on at-risk women.
个人的健康和生活结局与他们成长和生活的环境相互交织。一个人所经历的所有暴露在短期和整个生命历程中都会影响健康。接触多种环境污染物会增加个人和社区的压力水平，诸如犯罪、药物和酒精滥用以及暴力等社会心理压力源也会对个人和社区的福祉造成损害。此外，当地机构和基础设施的可及性、组织情况和质量在短期和长期都会影响健康。本文将探讨这些因素在子宫内膜癌中的作用。此外，还将探讨有关铅、慢性生理压力和子宫内膜癌的政策影响，以确定这些因素对高危女性的影响。
