Topic and Subtopics

Since the dawn of civilisation, human beings have been tempted to seek comfort. Technology is advancing rapidly, and science continues to push its boundaries. Many opportunities and conveniences we are enjoying today could scarcely have been imagined by our grandparents. Yet civilisation and comfort come at a cost. The so-called “diseases of civilisation” have emerged.

Many people today spend most of their time indoors. When environments are created, economic and technological factors usually take precedence, while human health, well-being, and social aspects are overlooked.

The interaction between humans and the environment is reciprocal. By exploring and adapting to it, people ultimately craft a comfortable life and become consumers. But this often leads to unforeseen troubles, inconveniences, and even harm. The same is true of the impact of civilisation on human health: comfort has been accompanied by negative health consequences. The modern, technologically adept person of our civilisation has not become healthier. On the contrary, people become afflicted by various chronic conditions, mental health issues, allergies, and newly emerging diseases linked to the progress of civilisation. At the same time, while medical care continues to progress, it is often too expensive and fails to effectively overcome these challenges.

Studies have shown the connection between the environment and health and revealed how environmental exposure affects both human and animal health and is closely linked to individual physiological characteristics.

However, pinpointing the impact of environmental factors on specific diseases is difficult, as they usually result from a complex interplay of multiple influences.

When investigating any issue, the choice of research methods and terminology is also of great importance and needs to be discussed.

We invite you to explore these and related questions at the 23rd International Medical Congress on the topic: “PREVENTION – DIAGNOSTICS – TREATMENT – REHABILITATION OF CIVILISATION DISEASES”
