Age-related diseases depending on the geomagnetic field activity in the intrauterine period

Abstract

The main causes of morbidity and mortality among the elderly population are oncological and cardiovascular diseases. Those who avoid these diseases have a chance to live longer. The author suggests a hypothesis of one common factor, deviation from which leads to either oncological or cardiovascular diseases. This factor is the amount of nitric oxide (NO) produced in the organism. Excessive NO creates a risk of oncopathology, while the lack of NO may lead to cardiovascular diseases. The ability of the organism to utilize the excess NO depends on the geomagnetic activity (GMA) during the intrauterine period. The geomagnetic field affects people’s health throughout their lives. NO is produced in the body in different ways and is, among other things, related to the destruction of blood neutrophils, which depends on the state of the geomagnetic field; the latter, in turn, is affected by solar magnetic activity.
