Abstract

The   vertiginous process of globalization and the promotion of individualism offered by postmodernism; They have forced the world health authorities to reassess the relationship between health and the environment. Therefore, the conception of the environment as a determinant of health has gained special relevance; since currently, it is necessary to respond to the challenges required by the relationship between the care of natural resources and the improvement of human health. This article deals with unavoidable aspects about the environment as a determinant of health, first, the concept of environment is exposed, according to the different idiosyncrasies and their implications on health, later, scientific evidence is presented of some examples that support the relationship with the health-disease process and, lastly, challenges that public health professionals have to address.
