[PUBLICATION] 14th issue of the Pop’Sciences Mag: “Health, a holistic vision”

Discussing the links between health and the environment

We are not all equal when dealing with illness. What influences our health, apart from genetic or behavioral factors (physical activity, smoking, alcohol, etc.)? The meeting-discussion entitled “Health: gaining a better understanding of environmental exposure” ("Santé: mieux comprendre les expositions environnementales"), sheds light on a recent scientific concept, the exposome. This refers to the various environmental factors that each individual is exposed to throughout his or her life and which may have an impact on health (food, air, water, noise, pollution, radiation, effects of climate change, etc.). How can we identify them, become aware of their impact on health, and act to prevent their effects, both individually and collectively?

The meeting-discussion will shed light on these issues through the shared perspectives of:

• Fabrice Vavre, an Evolutionary Biology Researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), Director of the Biometrics and Evolutionary Biology Laboratory at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1;
• Béatrice Fervers, Oncologist, head of the Cancer and Environment Department at the Centre Léon Bérard de Lyon.
