Impactul schimbărilor bruşte ale vremii din Republica Moldova asupra stării de sănătate a populaţiei [Articol]

Abstract

Along with the positive parts of the Moldovan climate - the warm period of the year, the mild winter, the abundance of light and heat - there are also some negative traits such as the high variability of the weather. The sudden changes in weather caused by the strong variation in the values of the main meteorological elements such as air temperature, precipitation, relative air humidity, nebulosity, and especially atmospheric pressure, adversely affect the health of a large number of people. When the body is virtually forced to suddenly pass from a temperature above 35°C to less than 17°C, it is instantly weakened. The explanation is that they are trying to cope with this passage, being confronted with dampness and cold. The immune system weakens and the body becomes vulnerable to viral infections. At the same time, the presence of nasal polyps, allergies, which affect the nasal mucosa and prolonged stress, increase the risk of developing viral infections. When the weather is suddenly racing, many people face dizziness and headaches. There are many people who accuse a state of acute fatigue, physical and mental asthenia, a state of continuous drowsiness and even depression, although they are properly resting.
