Abstract

There is an urgency to understand the implications of context for cardiovascular health and more broadly the implications of trends such as increasingly urban living for our ability to live healthful lives within these contexts. This chapter reaches across disciplines to provide insights into how contexts – including social contexts, proximal spatial contexts, and organizational contexts and connectivity to service – can better support cardiovascular health. To a large extent, the health-relevant aspects of the contexts we create are the unintended consequences of policies and actions designed for the pursuit of other social and economic goals. As a society, we must seek to investigate the mechanisms and pathways by which our surroundings exert their health effects, measure the magnitude of these effects, and identify those among us who are most affected. A better understanding of the unintended consequences of our environments enables us to become selective and discerning consumers of physical and social processes that have the most beneficial impact on our collective health.
