НЕБЛАГОПРИЯТНАЯ МЕТЕОРОЛОГИЧЕСКАЯ ОБСТАНОВКА КАК ФАКТОР РИСКА РАЗВИТИЯ КАРДИОВАСКУЛЯРНЫХ ЗАБОЛЕВАНИЙ

Abstract

Relevance. Exacerbation of the disease, as a rule, leads to the patient seeking medical help. In this regard, data on the population's access to medical care can serve as an indicator of the exacerbation of the disease. Aim: to analyze meteorological risk factors that contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Material and methods. The ratio of the average number of cases of requests for medical care on unfavorable days for meteorological factors to the average number of cases of requests per day for medical care during the year was calculated. Using software tools (STATISTICA Base V6. 1), the type of data distribution was estimated, and a correlation analysis of the likely relationship between the number of medical care requests and the indicators of meteorological factors was carried out. Results. As a result of the study, it was found that the average number of cases of medical care requests on hot days (air temperature over + 300C) is 1.1-1.4 times higher than the average number of cases of requests per day for the same reasons (diagnoses) during the year and is abnormal for the territory of the city of Voronezh, due to such diagnoses as hypertension without heart failure, brain vascular lesions (specified), cerebrovascular disease, hypertension with heart failure. Conclusions. Thus, it was found that one of the meteorological risk factors for the formation of cardiovascular pathology is high air temperature (above + 300C), which is the goal for the implementation of the main directions of prevention of increased weather sensitivity and treatment of weather-dependent patients.
