Our planet, our health

The health of our planet and the health of the population that inhabits it go hand in hand.

Currently, our political, social, and commercial decisions are damaging both at an alarming rate. The World Health Organisation estimates that more than 13 million deaths around the world each year are due to avoidable environmental causes.

Breaking this cycle of self-destruction can only be achieved through the publication of robust, rigorous research. It is only with evidence-based science, reviewed by experts in the field, that policymakers and world leaders can make informed decisions about our climate and our health.

For World Health Day 2022, F1000Research invites you to take action, whether that's by increasing your awareness via our published content or by submitting your own ground-breaking research to one of our designated gateways.

Effects of sociodemographic and socioeconomic factors on stroke development in Lebanese patients with atrial fibrillation: a cross-sectional study

Non-communicable diseases, the major cause of death and disability, are susceptible to modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke by 4 to 5 times and can lead to cardiovascular mortality. This study was conducted to assess the effects of different sociodemographic and socioeconomic factors on stroke development in patients with AF.

Risk factors for premature coronary artery disease (PCAD) in adults: a systematic review protocol

To the best of our knowledge, this review will be the first to observe a comprehensive list of risk factors including modifiable and non-modifiable for PCAD across subpopulations. This review is anticipated to classify research gaps in the existing literature and provide evidence for further studies on risk factors for PCAD. Moreover, this review will also conduct sub-group analyses by comparing risk factors for PCAD between LMICs versus HICs (geographical settings).

COP-eration for global food security

Considering that food production is a major driver for the loss of biological diversity, despite the fact that ample genetic reservoirs are crucial for the persistence of agriculture in a changing world, food can be a conduit for bringing biodiversity into people's minds and government agendas. If this generation is going to "live in harmony with nature," as the Aichi Biodiversity Targets indicate, such an integration needs to be developed between the agricultural and environmental sectors throughout the world, especially as an increasingly urban civilization severs its cultural connections to food origin.

Health technology assessment capacity at national level in sub-Saharan Africa: an initial survey of stakeholders

Health technology assessment (HTA) is an effective tool for supporting priority setting (PS) in health. Stakeholder groups need to understand HTA appropriate to their role and to interpret and critique the evidence produced. We aimed to rapidly assess current health system priorities and policy areas of demand for HTA in Sub-Saharan Africa, and identify key gaps in data and skills to inform targeted capacity building.
