Abstract:
In order to provide information for further researches and better medical meteorological forecast and service,a review of researches on medical meteorology in China in the recent 10 years is made,especially with respect of weather or climate impacts on each kind of disease,including circulatory,digestive,respiratory,and infectious diseases.Also the relation between meteorological parameters and pathogenies such as vectors,parasites,fungi,bacteria,etc.is discussed.The possible influence of climate change on human health in China and medical meteorological forecasts and services in some provinces are introduced.It is very important to explain and reveal the cause-effect relation between weather,climate and diseases(or health) by integrating the epidemiology and meteorology in the future.It is pointed out that nationwide cooperative researches should be conducted between meteorological and medical sectors;the impacts of various meteorological parameters on human physiology,pathology and psychosis and the influence of climate change on human health should be further studied;and researches on the relation between meteorological disasters and diseases,as well as post-disaster countermeasures,should be strengthened.
