So I think we will have to wrestle with this.
This, Zand, is the argument, the dilemma, that I think runs through every single episode of What's Up Docs.
And we are thrilled to be joined by an incredible expert who's going to help us wrestle with it.
We have Professor Devi Sridhar.
She is Chair of Global Public Health at the University of Edinburgh.
She's written a pile of books, including her latest, How Not to Die Too Soon.
She is a world expert on public and global health.
I am very excited.
Please welcome Devi to the stage.
Devi, it's wonderful to have you here.
Hello.
Hi.
Your work in public health has reached a huge number of people, but you have a personal connection to public health as well, don't you?
Zahnd and I were just talking about this headline from The Guardian, it was reported in other papers too, that at least 80% of responsibility for ill health in old age is down to the individual.
How do you negotiate this balance between the responsibility we have for our health and blaming people for their health?
So we want to drill into a few of these things in more detail.
Can you start by just giving a sense of the big things that affect our health?
Clearly, some of those things are outside of our control.
The air you breathe, don't breathe the air if you live in New Delhi.
It's quite a tough bit of advice.
