Influence of meteorological factors on human health

Abstract

Temporal changes in temperature, humidity, height of atmospheric pressure and their impact on the psycho-physical functioning of man since the ancient Greeks have been the subject of study. At the beginning of the 21st century, scientists around the world are presenting irrefutable evidence that meteorological phenomena significantly contribute to the worsening of the condition in chronic patients, and also cause various health problems among healthy weather-sensitive people. Modern medicine defines a person whose organism is not able to adapt to changes in weather conditions as meteoropaths, and the state in which their orgasm is during that period is called meteorotropic.

Meteoropathy: a review on the current state of knowledge

“…The term originates from Greek, combining “meteora” (celestial phenomena) and “pathos”(pain), and was first introduced in the late 20th and the 21 st century [ 1 , 3 ]. Studies show that almost 30 % of the world's population experiences some sort of meteoropathy [ 4 ]. Among these individuals, women, particularly menopausal women, are more prone than men to have meteoropathy [ 5 , 6 ].…”

“…There are two types of meteoropathy, primary and secondary, respectively. The primary form affects healthy people who complain of muscle and joint pain, mood changes, and physical weaknesses [ 4 , 9 , 10 ]. These symptoms fade away as soon as the weather is stabilized.…”
