    Area of Science:

    • Art History
    • Medical Humanities
    • Cultural Psychology

    Background:

    • Cultural eras influence both artistic expression and lifestyle behaviors.
    • Understanding this connection may illuminate the origins of diseases.
    • Modern and contemporary art offer a lens into societal perceptions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the relationship between art history and disease-predisposing behaviors.
    • To investigate if perceptions of time and space in art correlate with specific health risks.
    • To analyze the cultural underpinnings of behaviors linked to coronary proneness and anorexia nervosa.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of modern and contemporary art.
    • Examination of cultural perceptions of time and space.
    • Correlation of artistic themes with behavioral risk factors for specific diseases.

    Main Results:

    • Identified distinct perceptions of time and space in modern versus contemporary art.
    • Found potential links between these perceptions and behaviors associated with coronary heart disease.
    • Observed correlations between artistic representations and anorexia nervosa risk factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Artistic representations of time and space can reflect and potentially influence cultural behaviors.
    • This interdisciplinary approach provides novel insights into the origins of lifestyle-related diseases.
    • Further research can explore the impact of cultural artifacts on public health.
