Health is beyond genetics: on the integration of lifestyle and environment in real-time for hyper-personalized medicine

Hyper-personalized medicine represents the cutting edge of healthcare, which aims to tailor treatment and prevention strategies uniquely each individual. Unlike traditional approaches, often adopt a one-size-fits-all or even broadly personalized approach based on broad genetic categories, hyper-personalized considers an individual's comprehensive health data by integrating unique biological, genetic, lifestyle, environmental influences. This method goes beyond simple profiling recognizing that outcomes are influenced complex interactions among our environment, daily routines, physiological processes responses.Central is integration lifestyle factors. Lifestyle habits, such as diet (Dalwood et al., 2020; Genel Marx Hepsomali & Groeger, 2021; Dinu 2022; Yang Sadler 2024), exercise (Chow Qiu Ross D'Onofrio 2023; Isath Mahindru Ashcroft 2024; Ponzano sleep patterns (Hepsomali Baranwal Eshera Lim Sletten Uccella, Weinberger 2023), directly impact health.

A variable, behavior, was introduced investigate causal pathways. 2-SLS regression revealed a significant positive correlation quality (β = 0.052, p<0.01). With inclusion variable (father's habits), effect size increased 0.208 (p<0.01). Adding behavior as further coefficient by 0.1437. The analysis showed that 84.62% total mediated, while direct accounted for only 15.53%. Both F-statistics significant. Family behaviors significantly enhance impact sleep.
