Published: August 2024

Social, environmental, and biological risk factors influence exposures to newly termed 'biosocial determinants of health'. As molecular factors that lie at the intersection between lived experiences and individual biology, biosocial determinants may inform on the enduring complexity of cancer disparity across transdisciplinary studies.

Which biosensing technologies are geographers using in their research, and what exactly do they measure? What are the theoretical origins of geographic interests in biosensing? This article provides an overview of the variety of biosensors applied in biosensing research, tracks the theoretical debates and roots of geographic engagement with biosensing, and discusses the potentials, limitations and ethical implications of applying biosensors. We critically reflect on the varied terminologies that have been used to describe a rapidly evolving array of biosensing technologies and methodologies and suggest a common understanding for key terms such as "biosensing" (technologies or methodologies), "biosensors," "wearable biosensors" and "biosignals." We offer an overview of the broader theoretical debates that have inspired geographers turn to biosensing, including behavioral geography, more-than-representational theory, critical neurogeography, the mobilities and biosociality paradigms, and visual geographies.

Article Synopsis
  • The study emphasizes a holistic approach to managing vector-borne diseases (VBDs) by integrating ecological, biological, and social factors, known as One Health (OH), which requires collaboration among institutions and communities.
  • A literature review identified 13 relevant peer-reviewed articles, highlighting the importance of cross-sector collaboration in resource sharing and knowledge exchange to address VBDs effectively.
  • The research proposes an OH model that outlines enabling factors for successful multisectoral interventions, aiming to assist decision-makers and stakeholders in enhancing their governance strategies for VBD prevention and preparedness.

Article Synopsis
  • Cardiovascular disease is the top health risk in Chile and globally, but the national health survey misses some remote areas like the Juan Fernández Archipelago.
  • The study aimed to analyze the population's health profile in the Juan Fernández Cardiovascular Health Program (CHP) over 15 years and compare the findings with national data.
  • Results showed the archipelago had lower rates of hypertension, tobacco use, overweight, obesity, and myocardial infarction, suggesting a better cardiovascular health profile that could inform future public health initiatives.

Childbearing Histories and Midlife Cognition: Accounting for Early Life Factors.

J Gerontol B Psychol Sci Soc Sci

December 2024

Department of Sociology, Institute for Population Research, The Ohio State University, Columbus,Ohio, USA.

Objectives: Childbearing histories-for example, parity and age at first birth-matter for the health outcomes of mid- and later-life women. There is growing evidence that childbearing may shape cognitive outcomes. However, previous research is not definitive due to its inability to account for selection.
