Climate Change, extreme events and impaired health: local to national perspectives
（不同区域视角下的气候变化，极端事件及其健康损害）
报告摘要:
Climate change has changed the frequency, intensity and strength of extreme weather events. Lots of studies found that the extreme weather events are linked with adverse health outcomes. Due to the limitation of the health data, those studies either focused on all age groups in several cities or particular age group at national level. Our national study used health interview survey data that was linked to localized extreme weather events. It enables national assessment of impacts of climate change on health specifically on hay fever for general population. Our Maryland studies investigated the associations between extreme weather events and respiratory diseases, foodborn infectious diseases or cardiovascular diseases. We stratified our analysis by different geographic regions. The studies results showed elevated risk of extreme weather events on those health outcomes.
