Definition
The medical study of how geographical location, climate, soil, and environment affect human health and disease distribution.
Etymology
From Greek 'geo-' (earth) and Latin 'medicina' (healing art). This modern interdisciplinary field developed in the 20th century as researchers noticed health patterns connected to geography.
Kelly Says
Geomedicine revealed that in some regions, iodine-poor soil causes thyroid disease in millions—simple geography literally shaped the health of entire populations!
