Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach that works at local, regional, national, and global levels to achieve optimal health outcomes by recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.
More than 70% of all human deaths are due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) (WHO, 2021). Increasingly environmental exposures from air pollution, second-hand smoke, heavy metals, pesticides, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals, have been linked to a range of NCDs, including many cancers, cardiopulmonary diseases, neurological diseases and other pathologies. The fields of chronic disease, mental health, injury, occupational health, and non-communicable diseases can benefit from a One Health approach involving collaboration across disciplines and sectors. Employing One Health frameworks can provide innovative solutions to prevent and treat NCDs across the animal kingdom. An increased awareness among human health professionals and stakeholders of the shared vulnerability across species of environmentally linked NCDs should ignite interest and ideally mobilize resources for NCD surveillance across species (Bordier, 2018). These efforts could not only improve the health of humans, but of all species sharing exposures in increasingly hazardous environments (Natterson-Horowitz, 2022).
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on the current state of knowledge on how society in general, and health professionals in particular, can contribute to One Health care in non-communicable diseases.
