Global warming is caused by increased carbon dioxide and other industrial gases, which shift the climate of human habitat and environment, impacting human health globally. In this review, we tried to overview the current knowledge of climate change's impact on neurological disease.
A comprehensive search on PubMed, Web of Science (WOS), and Scopus was conducted to find the relevant original studies. Language, sex, age, date, or country of study were not restricted. Included studies report increased Alzheimer's disease mortality and hospital admission.
This increase was seen from the first day with high temperature to 3-4 days later. Parkinson's disease (PD) subjects were more vulnerable to high temperatures compared to dementia patients (RR for dementia: 1.29 and for PD: 1.41). Global warming was linked to the increase in the incidence of Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) (from 0.1% to 5.4%), Japanese encephalitis (OR: 2 when floods occur), and ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) (RR: 1.62 for each 1 C increase per month).
Health-related consequences of climate change are inevitable. The burden of medical problems related to the elderly population (especially the elderly with dementia), infectious diseases, and CFP on the healthcare system will naturally increase. Studying global warming trends could empower us with more precise predictions of the future and better planning to face climate change-related challenges.
全球变暖是由二氧化碳和其他工业气体增加所致，这改变了人类栖息地和环境的气候，对全球人类健康产生影响。在本综述中，我们试图概述气候变化对神经系统疾病影响的现有知识。
在PubMed、科学网（WOS）和Scopus上进行全面检索，以查找相关的原始研究。研究的语言、性别、年龄、日期或国家不受限制。纳入的研究报告了阿尔茨海默病死亡率和住院率的增加。
从高温出现的第一天到3 - 4天后可见这种增加。与痴呆症患者相比，帕金森病（PD）患者更容易受到高温影响（痴呆症的相对危险度：1.29，PD为1.41）。全球变暖与蜱传脑炎（TBE）发病率增加（从0.1%增至5.4%）、日本脑炎（洪水发生时比值比：2）和雪卡毒素中毒（CFP）（每月每升高1摄氏度相对危险度：1.62）有关。
气候变化对健康的影响不可避免。与老年人群（尤其是患有痴呆症的老年人）、传染病和CFP相关的医疗问题对医疗系统的负担自然会增加。研究全球变暖趋势可以使我们对未来做出更精确的预测，并更好地规划应对与气候变化相关的挑战。
