Perspectives on health geography. Why Geography and Health?. As . Dr. Trevor . Dummer. . (2008) stated: . Geography and . health are intrinsically linked. Where we are born, live, study and work directly influences our health experiences: the air we breathe, the food we eat, the viruses we are exposed to and the health services we can access. The social, built and natural environments affect our health and well-being in ways that are directly relevant to health policy. Spatial location (the geographic context of places and the connectedness between places) plays a major role in shaping environmental risks as well as many other health effects. Throughfall. Stemflow.
