I'm beginning to see your point. A single lifestyle decides nothing if not integrated with a good environment. That's right. So during the 1980s and 1990s, there has been a growing swing away from seeing lifestyle risks as the root cause of poor health. While lifestyle factors still remain important, health is being viewed also in terms of the social, economic and environmental contexts in which people live. This is a new concept of health. And I heard it's called the socio-ecological view, isn't it? Yes. In 1986, representatives from 38 countries gathered in Ottawa, Canada, to hold the first international Conference of Health Promotion. It was at that conference that the broad socio-ecological view of health was endorsed. What were the details of the endorsement? Well, the representatives declared that the fundamental conditions and resources for health are peace, shelter, education, food, a viable income, a stable eco-system, sustainable resources, social justice and equity. Moreover, improvement in health requires a secure foundation in these basic requirements. From this statement, we can find that the creation of health is about much more than encouraging healthy individual behaviors and lifestyles and providing appropriate medical care. It must include addressing such issues as poverty, pollution, urbanization, natural resource depletion, social alienation and poor working conditions.
我慢慢理解你的意思了。如果没有良好的环境,单一的生活方式没有任何决定作用。 是的。所以,在20世纪八九十年代,人们普遍认为生活方式的风险是不健康的根本原因。尽管生活方式很重要,人们生活的社会环境、经济环境和生态环境也会影响健康。 这是一种新的健康观念。我听说这被称为社会生态学观点,是吗? 是的。1986年,来自38个国家的代表齐聚加拿大渥太华,参加首届国际健康促进会议。在这次会议上,广义的社会生态学观点被提出。 观点的具体内容是什么呢? 代表们声称,健康的基本条件和资源是:和平的政治环境,稳定的住房,基本的教育,充足的食物,适当的收入,稳定的生态系统,可持续的资源供应,公正平等的社会。此外,健康的改善还需要这些基础条件的安全保障。根据这个声明,我们能够发现,要创造健康,不能仅靠鼓励个人的运动和生活方式,以及提供适当的医疗保护。还必须解决贫困问题、污染问题、城市化问题、自然资源匮乏问题、社会疏远问题和工作条件不善等问题。
