Bangladesh faces a growing number of issues, such as limited sources of potable water and health hazards that are either directly or indirectly linked to climate change. In total, 16 publications from 2007 to 2024 were manually screened for inclusion in this systematic review. The articles were divided into three categories: climate and water, climate and health, and climate, water, and health. Due to the climate change, 20 million individuals in Bangladesh have been suffering from water- and health-related illness. The results showed that among Bangladeshi vulnerable groups, cholera, infant diarrhea, pneumonia, dengue, malaria, mental illness, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and an increase in communicable diseases like water-, vector-, and food-borne infections, along with malnutrition, are common. Further findings of the study include health risks, water-related risks, and difficulties in determining the consequences of climate change. This review study focuses on Bangladesh, a developing country, and the correlation between climate change and the dangers of water and health-related diseases. The findings of this study have substantial implications for risk assessment, water quality, climate change, and public health, especially in poor nations, as well as for policymakers and academicians in these fields.
孟加拉国面临着越来越多的问题，例如饮用水源有限以及与气候变化直接或间接相关的健康危害。在这项系统评价中，总共手动筛选了 2007 年至 2024 年的 16 篇出版物。这些文章分为三类：气候与水、气候与健康以及气候、水与健康。由于气候变化，孟加拉国有 2000 万人遭受与水和健康有关的疾病。结果表明，在孟加拉国的弱势群体中，霍乱、婴儿腹泻、肺炎、登革热、疟疾、精神疾病、高血压、心血管疾病、脑血管疾病以及水传播疾病、媒介传播疾病和食源性病原体感染的传染病增加，加上营养不良，都很常见。该研究的进一步发现包括健康风险、与水有关的风险以及难以确定气候变化的后果。本综述研究侧重于孟加拉国这一发展中国家以及气候变化与水和健康相关疾病的危险之间的关系。本研究的结果对风险评估、水质、气候变化和公共卫生具有重要意义，特别是在贫穷国家，对这些领域的政策制定者和学者也具有重要意义。
