Review article Global climate change affects disease changes

Abstract

Abstract

Background: Climate change causes a condition called global warming, which is a condition in which the global temperature increases. It is mainly caused by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels in industry and transportation, deforestation, and land use changes, which result in an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, promoting an increase in the greenhouse effect. Therefore, the world is warming, or global warming, resulting in changes in the climate and resulting in subsequent impacts, such as more frequent extreme weather, impacts on food safety, water availability, and air quality, and may result in human health diseases that are sensitive to weather, both communicable and non-communicable diseases.

Objective: This article aims to present information on climate change or global warming causing changes in diseases.

Materials and Methods: The method used is to study and review the literature from articles published in international journals on global warming. Climate change causes changes in diseases.

Results: The results of the study are that global warming causes changes in communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases, emerging infectious diseases, and re-emerging infectious diseases. And neglected tropical diseases cause the distribution and life cycle of some vectors to change, the life cycle of some pathogens to change.

Conclusions: which concludes that knowing the changes that affect the disease can find ways to prevent and respond to the occurrence of the disease.

Keywords: Global warming, climate change, disease change
