Proposals from animal owners in SHIP-One Health

Topic details

The basic idea behind the concept of "One Health" is not to look at human health in isolation, but in close connection with the health of animals and our environment. Since mid-2021, the "Study of Health in Pomerania" (SHIP) project, founded in 1997, has been implementing this holistic health concept in its third study group (called NEXT). This means that not only the human participants are examined, but also their animal companions at home - be it dogs, cats, poultry or pigeons.

As part of the One Health module, we asked the participants: "To what extent does contact with your pet help to promote your mental and physical health?".
