Australia’s temperature rise is increasing in people’s minds.With New studies have shown that heat -related cardiovascular disease is expected to double or triple by the middle of the century.
Cardiovascular disease related to hot weather has lost almost 50,000 healthy lives in Australia, accounting for 7.3 %of the total heart disease burden nationwide.
As the climate crisis is strengthened, the number increases rapidly. European Heart Journal Said.
Pengbi, a senior researcher at the University of Adelaide, said, “If you continue the current exhaust gas route, the burden of heart disease caused by extreme fever by 2050 may be more than doubled.
The researchers are related to the longer heat, but it is not exactly clear how early a person who lives with serious heart disease due to higher temperatures. New research provides understanding.
“Many of us have experienced how hot weather can feel bad, but what we are seeing now is to worsen cardiovascular health at an alarm speed.”
“When the weather is hot, our hearts must work harder to cool us. This additional pressure can be especially dangerous for people with cardiovascular disease.”
This study analyzes 15 years of Australian health data to measure the effects of heat -related cardiovascular disease. It uses the metrics of disability adjustment, and it has been lost due to early death and occupies several years of living with a disease.
Dr. BI said, “This study combines some of the main factors of climate change, population shift and adaptation strategy, providing full pictures of disease burden across Australia, which makes our research into one of the first types worldwide.
An average healthy life of 49,483 is a cardiovascular disease caused by heat every year, and most of them are lost due to early death rather than disease.
This study predicts the impact of worsening for decades by using a climate model based on greenhouse gas emission scenarios.
By 2030, the burden of heart disease related to extreme heat is expected to increase 83.5 %, reaching a healthy life of more than 90,000 years. By 2050, losses are expected to rise to 139,828, and when emissions stabilize, it has increased 182.6 %.
However, in the worst scenario where discharge has not continued to increase, the increase of healthy life in 161,095 by 2050 can increase to 225.6 %.
This study focuses on Australia, but temperature rise is a global public health crisis. Dr. BI said, “Certain risks may vary depending on the level of local climate, demographic statistics and adaptation, but the higher the temperature, the more the overall trend will be related in many regions around the world.”
Scientists show that immediate public health measures are needed to protect the vulnerable population, especially the elderly, those with existing heart, and those living in extreme columns.
Dr. BI said, “According to our study, climate change will bring more frequent and intense heat, especially in the case of vulnerable groups, the risk of higher temperatures will increase.
Researchers stress that adaptive strategies such as urban cooling projects, better emergency response and more powerful public health campaigns can greatly reduce the extreme heat for heart disease.
Health experts say that it can be helpful to maintain moisture at the individual level, find a cool environment, and limit outdoor activities at the highest temperature. In particular, people with existing cardiovascular conditions should closely monitor heart health.
The Australian Heart Foundation urges people to reduce the risk of overall cardiovascular risks by adopting a diet that is good for heart health containing more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and lean protein.
