GENERAL THEME: “The Harmony of Civilizations and Prosperity for All”
SUB-THEME: Environment and Health
Elísio Augusto Gomes Pinto
1 -Introduction
Men have always been surrounded by environment. Biophysical environment: energy, food, air, soil, water, biotic, habitat, weather and space. Psychosocial environment: social, economic, policies and cultural conditions.
Men’s health is a complex phenomenon in which different aspects are combined (individual, collective, economical, cultural, religious and political). It is a personal resource which must be managed, maintained and developed during the life cycle.
Health is the full development of men’s physical, mental and social potentialities, considering its genetic weight and the environment context, in other words the systematic searches for the right balance between environment and the men themselves.
In this sense, Health is the person’s relative balance, which results from the dynamic and satisfactory adjustment, facing at the same time all the negative strengths which try to disturb him. It is the organism constant inter-relationship in order to adapt both organic matter and the internal and external strengths that act over it. That’s why we can state that health is the “physical, mental and social well being and not only the lack of diseases or infirmities.” (OMS, 1948)
Environmental Health is a part of public health which combines the problems resulting from the effects done by the environment over the men’s physical and mental well being, as an integrated part of a community. The health or diseases states are influenced by individual aspects: genetic aspects and individual features such us age, sex, nutrition,
