Rethinking What Shapes Health Beyond the Microbiome
Original: Microbiomes, Inequity, and Structural Conditions: Rethinking What Shapes Health
Researchers at the University of Maine are calling for a broader view of health that links the human microbiome to social inequity and structural conditions such as poverty, housing and access to care. The argument is that microbes alone do not determine wellbeing; the environments and social systems people live in shape microbiomes too, so tackling health disparities requires addressing those underlying conditions.
Why now: Growing scientific and public interest in how social inequality biologically affects health
