一种综合征包括两种或两种以上的疾病，它们通过协同作用，导致疾病负担过重。与此同时，综合预防方法侧重于卫生相关问题之间的联系，在制定卫生政策时考虑到这些联系，并与社会变革的力量保持一致。在这份简短的报告中，我们扩展了综合症的概念，以承认动物健康与人类健康的联系程度，并参考了现有的出版物。我们证明了这一扩大定义对综合预防方法的针对性。我们的示范对“一个健康”的概念具有实际意义，许多著名的兽医和人类健康科学家最近都赞同这一概念，认为这是解决全球人类疾病、动物疾病和环境退化的坚实基础。虽然社会科学家大多忽略了动物健康，但很少有“一个健康”的支持者强调社会条件或让社会科学家参与进来。通过在我们扩大的疾病概念中明确纳入动物与人类的联系，我们希望帮助创造一个空间，使人类卫生、兽医和社会科学家可以相互学习，在研究中合作，并合作为预防方面的创新扫清道路。2009爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
A syndemic involves two or more afflictions that, by interacting synergistically, contribute to excess burdens of disease. A syndemic approach to prevention, meanwhile, focuses on connections among health-related problems, considers those connections when developing health policies, and aligns with forces for social change. in this short report, we expand the syndemic concept to acknowledge the extent to which animal health connects with human health and, with reference to existing publications. we demonstrate the pertinence of this expanded definition for a syndemic approach to prevention. Our demonstration assumes practical importance in relation to the concept of 'one health', which many prominent veterinary and human health scientists have recently endorsed as a sound basis for redressing human diseases, animal diseases, and environmental degradation worldwide. While social scientists have mostly ignored animal health, few 'one health' proponents have emphasized social conditions or involved social scientists. By explicitly accommodating animal-human connections in our expanded conceptualization of a syndemic, we hope to help create a space in which human health, veterinary, and social scientists may learn from one another, collaborate in research, and cooperate to clear the way for innovations in prevention.
