Altered Landscapes vs. Human Health: Significant Research

摘要

Since 1999, Ingegnoli has urged us to consider the possible consequences due to landscape degradation with structural and ecological disorders on human health. Theoretically, these involve physiological and ethological behaviors of man through disorders of the hormonal and nervous system. Four research are provided, all conducted by the Author. The first research concerns Monza-Brianza province, near Milan, and show a remarkable increase in mortality rate MR [× 1000] correlated with an increase in landscape dysfunction: we pass from MR = 7.6 in unaltered landscapes (BF = 1.0) to MR = 9.5 in the landscape with deprivation of 50% (BF = 0.50) of the normal state. The correlation significance (Pearson) is 1.90. The average BF of 72 LU is 0.70. The second research concerns the COVID-19 contagion related to the bionomic state of the territory. The dynamics of the correlation significance of ecological density (ED), bionomic functionality (BF), and population age (PA) show the dominant importance of BF for ¾ of the first year. At the same time, ED is low, and the inversion of these correlations occurs in the second period, when the percentage of the contagion is >5%. The third research on cancer incidence in Western Europe, 2012–2020, compare 12 parameters (5 traditional and 7 coming from Landscape Bionomics) related to cancer onset. The significance of Pearson’s correlation provides clear indications: only five exceed the threshold of complete correlation, while the other five present scarce importance and the remaining two are ‘near good’. Note that no one of these parameters can be interpreted to have spurious correlations: GDP (€/capita) is directly linked with the power of landscape transformation and artificialization, Red Meat with agrarian and zootechnical industrialization like Pesticides and Glyphosate. The fourth research was made comparing European and Indian environmental transformations related to human health from 1880 to 2010. Diagnostic evaluation of the relation HH vs. BTC shows the opposite directions of the land transformations in Europe and India. A focus on the increase of incidence and complex etiology of Diabetes-2 in these two areas is provided.
