[Hygienic assessment of the influence of climatic factors on the prevalence of respiratory diseases in the Primorye Territory].
A methodology is proposed to assess environmental factors on human health, which is a new type of analyses and helps to substantiate managerial solutions in human health promotion and environmental protection. Stages and an algorithm of calculation of the risk of prevalence of diseases are presented, which has established cause-effect relationships between the climatic parameters and the incidence of respiratory diseases in different age groups and different bioclimatic zones. The established threshold criteria permit a rapid estimation of the influence of environmental factors on morbidity rates and provides a system conception for the development of a complex of therapeutic-and-prophylactic measures.
