From evolutionary point of view, Physical characteristics and human
behavior are shaped by interactions between genes , culture and
environment. Indonesia is a vast country consisting of more than 17,000
large and small islands with a population of about 250 million people .
Moreover , Indonesia is home to more than 1200 ethnics and thousands of
languages . They live in different geographical and socio-cultural
environment. Indonesia is also a country in transition process. Economic
transition, demographic transition, climate transition and epidemiological
transition. This led to the growth of the middle economic class changing
lifestyles, increasing elderly population, the climate is getting warmer,
and the increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases at the same
time, infectious disease remains a major health problem. The conceptual
foundation of modern medicine is biomedical model, which is firmly grounded
in Cartesian thought cannot be used to understood that complex health
problem. We need to shift our attention from biomedical approach to more
comprehensive gene, cultural and environment interaction.
The purpose of this lecture is to provide an overview of the situation of
communicable and non-communicable diseases in Indonesia and how genes,
cultur and environment interact to influence the causes and processes of
such diseases, as well as to describe the empirical evidence linking each
variable to diseases outcomes.
