Abstract
BACKGROUND: The Far Eastern Federal District has some features, including climate and geographic factors, requiring a special approach to the validation and development of preventive actions to preserve and improve the health of children and adolescents based on regional aspects.
AIM: To study the influence of climate and geographic factors on health of the child population of the Far Eastern Federal District.
METHODS: A retrospective, analytical, observational, correlation (ecological) study was conducted. An integrated assessment of climate differences of the districts included in the macroregion was conducted based on a study of the average annual bioclimatic stress index and the physiologically equivalent temperature. The study describes the values and changes in the analyzed parameters in the constituent entities of the Far Eastern Federal District in 2013–2023. We studied the influence of climate factors on the health of children and adolescents aged 0–14 and 15–17 years, respectively, living in the constituent entities of the Far Eastern Federal District.
RESULTS: The study reveals a similar rank distribution of the bioclimatic stress index and the physiologically equivalent temperature in the constituent entities of the Far Eastern Federal District. The variability of the analyzed parameters was characterized by heterogeneity, annual variability, and specific sustainable changes. The study identified the years with the most and least favorable climate comfort that meet both criteria. We confirmed that the physiologically equivalent temperature is more sensitive for assessing the climatic stress of the Far East. The study identified the relationships between primary incidence in children and adolescents and bioclimatic stress indices and similarities and differences of the relationship between primary incidence in both age groups with the bioclimatic stress index and physiologically equivalent temperature.
CONCLUSION: The findings may be used as a basis for further study of regional risk factors for health problems in children and adolescents and as a rationale for macroregion-specific actions to improve and maintain the health of the younger generation.
