Residents of Australia’s remote regions have lower life expectancies and poorer health outcomes than other Australians. Access to hospital and specialist care frequently requires transport via road or air and time spent away from family and community. The paper explores consumer perspective and identifies areas for improvement.
Human health, in the coming decades (and already in some “front-running” regions), is in peril. Although some authorities warn that over-stating such risks can induce paralysis and despair, under-stating them will not generate the intense action that is required. The impact of climate change on the Earth system is now so significant that the next ice age will likely be delayed by at least 50,000 years [201]. If humans do not rapidly change their collective behavior, then this may be their most enduring legacy. It is hoped that this chapter makes a small contribution to SDG3.
This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health by exploring potential nutraceutical interventions for autism and related disorders, which can enhance therapeutic strategies and improve health outcomes for individuals affected by these conditions. By investigating the roles of various dietary and environmental factors, the study aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of autism's complex etiology, potentially leading to more effective management options. Additionally, it supports Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities by emphasizing the need for accessible and diverse treatment approaches, such as nutraceuticals, which can offer individuals and families more options for managing autism, regardless of their socioeconomic status or access to traditional healthcare resources.
