This Research Topic will bring together manuscripts dealing with different exposures in the same epidemiological design leading to the emergence of the exposome concept. This term was coined by Wild in 2005 and comprises of the totality of human exposures throughout life, from conception to death. The exposome is concomitantly based on three domains: i) Internal factors that are unique to individuals, such as physiology, age, body morphology, and an individual’s genome; ii) General external factors, which includes socioeconomic condition, sociodemographic factors, and place of residence; and iii) Specific external factors, such as diet, lifestyle, environmental and occupational exposures, among others.
We welcome manuscripts on:
(i) Exposome-related approaches such as systems biology, high-performance toxicological screening, temporal and spatial statistical models;
(ii) Translation of the importance of environmental factors in diseases using principles of exposome;
(iii) New scientific findings to boost and improve sustainability, prevention, or treatment strategies in humans;
(iv) Characterizing of the internal exposome at the individual level by integrating data – omics (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiomics) and monitoring;
(v) Scientific guidance on risk assessment based on exposome;
(vi) Understanding how general and specific external factors influence the risk of chronic diseases.
