What is physical exposome?

In the context of Equal-Life, the external exposome refers to an individual's environmental exposures influenced by others and natural events. It includes outdoor and indoor environmental quality, the built and natural environment, and lifestyle factors. Equal-Life aims to study these exposures at a fine spatiotemporal level. Activity patterns and spaces play a role in exposure and susceptibility, especially for children. The exposome's effects vary with a child's developmental stages due to changing activities and vulnerabilities. Early exposure can impact sensitivity to environmental factors and resilience. The exposome's impact on a child's life is complex and multifaceted, involving various factors and stages of development.
