Climate change, recognized as a global crisis, is not only altering our environment but also significantly impacting human health. Particularly, its influence on non-communicable diseases (NCDs), a leading cause of global mortality, is becoming increasingly evident yet underexplored. This review aims to synthesize current research on the impact of climate change on NCDs, addressing a critical gap in our understanding of how environmental changes affect human health. We examine the complex interplay between climate change and NCDs, drawing insights from recent studies that highlight the adverse effects of climate variables on chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular and kidney diseases, and the role of food and nutrition security in this nexus. Furthermore, the review explores the disproportionate impact on vulnerable regions and populations, particularly in Pacific Island countries and territories, underscoring the urgent need for context-specific solutions and a cross-sectoral approach. By integrating findings from various disciplines, this review aims to inform policy and public health interventions, highlighting the necessity of collaborative efforts to mitigate the burgeoning burden of NCDs in a rapidly changing climate.

Aim. To study the seasonal dynamics of cardiovascular events (CVE) in the Russian Federation (RF) using medical and statistical data for the period 2016-2019, and also to establish an association of CVE risk with meteorological conditions.Material and methods. We used data on hospitalizations for 2016-2019 for hemorrhagic stroke (HS), ischemic stroke (IS), myocardial infarction (MI), and acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Results. Data analysis showed that the maximum number of HSs occurred in winter and spring, and the minimum in summer. The maximum number of ISs was recorded in spring and summer, while the minimum in winter and autumn. ACS occurred more often in winter and spring, MI — more often in spring. ACS was accompanied by MI in 44% of cases. In winter, the probability of HS increased with decreasing latitude.In summer, the risk of HS and IS was greater at lower air temperatures. In summer, the probability of IS and MI was associated with lower values of atmospheric pressure and partial density of oxygen (ρO2). In winter, the risk of IS increased at highr atmospheric pressure values. No convincing evidence was obtained of the influence of geomagnetic activity on the seasonal dynamics of the CVEs either throughout the Russian Federation or in the circumpolar regions.Conclusion. As a result, meteorological conditions influence the seasonal risk of CVEs. A decrease in ρO2 in summer significantly increases the CVE risk associated with ischemia, which should be taken into account when preventing CVEs.

Many patients and some doctors associate the worsening of cardiovascular diseases with meteoropathy (changes in atmospheric pressure and air temperature). Opinion about lack of weather influence on the increase in overall morbidity and the lack of related research data indicate the need to study the relationship between cardiovascular diseases and meteorological conditions.Aim. To assess the prevalence of hospitalizations with symptomatic increases in blood pressure (BP), atrial fibrillation (AF), and decompensated heart failure (HF) in a Moscow hospital depending on meteorological conditions.Material and methods. This retrospective analysis of the number of emergency hospitalizations of patients with symptomatic increases in blood pressure, AF, and decompensated HF in Moscow City Clinical Hospital № 24 was carried out in the period from October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019. Information from the website www.weather.com was used as a source of meteorological data. The following indicators were assessed daily: daytime air temperature (t), nighttime air temperature, maximum diurnal air temperature variation, atmospheric pressure, maximum diurnal atmospheric pressure variation, amount of precipitation. To assess statistical significance, the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used. A correlation analysis was carried out, and a prognostic model was created using multiple linear regression.Results. During the period from October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019, 4354 patients were hospitalized at City Clinical Hospital № 24 with symptomatic BP increase and/or AF and/or decompensated HF. The highest number of hospitalizations occurred in November, December and January. The median number of admissions per day was 12 patients. When comparing the mean number of patients admitted to the hospital per day, depending on day- and nighttime air temperature, following statistically significant differences were obtained (p<0,001): with day- and nighttime air temperature ≥0о C, the number of admissions was less compared to sub-zero temperatures. Significant inverse correlations were established between the number of patients hospitalized with symptomatic BP increase, AF and HF per day, with air temperature at night (correlation coefficient r=-0,339; p<0,001), air t during the day (r=-0,316; p<0,001), temperature difference over 48 hours (r=-0,205; p<0,001); direct correlations with atmospheric pressure (r=0,106; p=0,044) and its changes (r=0,115; p=0,028) were identified. All identified relationships were of moderate strength. According to prognostic model, only nighttime air temperature turned out to be a significant indicator associated with the hospitalization rate per day. With a decrease in air temperature at night for every 7,5о C <0, one more patient is expected to be hospitalized with a symptomatic BP increase, decompensated HF, or paroxysmal AF.Conclusion. Negative air temperature in a metropolis is associated with an increase in hospitalizations for symptomatic BP increase, AF or decompensated HF. Atmospheric pressure and precipitation do not affect these conditions.
