According to the definition provided by United Nations, “climate change” describes persistent alterations in temperatures and weather trends. These may arise naturally, such as fluctuations solar cycle. Nonetheless, since 19th century, human activities have emerged primary agent for climate change, primarily attributed combustion of fossil fuels coal, oil, gas. Climate change can potentially influence well-being, agricultural production, housing, safety, employment opportunities all individuals. The immune system is an important interface through which global affects health. Extreme heat, events environmental pollutants could impair both innate adaptive responses, promoting inflammation genomic instability, increasing risk autoimmune chronic inflammatory diseases.

The effect of the diurnal temperature range (DTR) on human health in diverse geographic areas and potential confounding factors are not fully understood. Additionally, while a robust association has been reported between cardiomyopathy (CM), evidence impact DTR is relatively limited. Here, we determined whether an exists CM hospitalisations vulnerable populations. admission data (2016-2021) were collected from seven tertiary hospitals Henan.We used GAM combined with distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) to investigate delayed effects daily for CM.Stratified analysis was performed subgroups according sex, age, season. Attributable fractions (AF) attributable numbers (AN) employed illustrate disease burden DTR. Overall, 5,757 cases identified. admissions exhibited correlation. High (P95: 15.5 °C) low (P05: 3 increased risk, having stronger effect. Males warm seasons significantly more susceptible DTR, affected youth adults than older adults. AF AN 51% 2,936, respectively. Our results revealed significant hospitalisations, providing valuable insights development targeted prevention control measures.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Human activities have greatly influenced global temperatures, leading to climate change warming. This narrative review aims explore the relationship between immune system, focusing on how environmental stressors can affect regulation, both hyperactivity suppression. Methods A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed Google Scholar for peer‐reviewed studies published up June 2024. The terms included “climate change,” “human health,” “infection,” “immunity,” “disease.” Inclusion criteria were based relevance, originality, accessibility. Results Exposure elevated temperatures significantly impair system cells, an overproduction of signaling molecules that promote inflammation. Temperature fluctuations been shown influence various aspects adaptive response, including cell mobilization, antigen processing presentation, lymphocyte trafficking activation, functionality B T cells. Notably, some research suggests heat stress negatively impacts differentiation, replication, proportion, resulting decreased immunoglobulin cytokine production, contributing immunosuppression. Additionally, change‐related exposures compromise epithelial barriers skin, lungs, gut, microbial dysbiosis, dysregulation. Furthermore, factors such as temperature variations, humidity, air pollutant levels may exacerbate prevalence infectious diseases, measles HIV, with varying acute, chronic, latent infections, further variability. Conclusion Climate change, particularly increased function, heightened inflammatory responses, Future should focus developing sustainable management strategies enhance health resilience face ongoing climatic changes.
