THE INFLUENCE OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE SPREAD OF DISEASES

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to study the influence of climate change on the level of morbidity in our republic. 2023 became the warmest year in the last 174 years. The average global temperature increased by 1.45°C compared to the pre pre-industrial level. Over the last 50 years, the number of registered natural disasters has increased 5 times. If this trend continues, it is predicted that by 2030, 1.5 and 560 medium and large natural disasters will occur daily. Global warming contributes to the spread of infectious and invasive diseases around the world. The Republic of Azerbaijan has not remained aloof from the influence of global climate change. The analysis shows that over the last 100 years, the average annual temperature in Azerbaijan has increased by 0.4 0.4-1.301.30С. In order to study the influence of the average monthly air temperature on the level of morbidity of the population, the level of morbidity of various diseases in multi multi-year dynamics for 2010 2010-2023 was analyzed. In 2023, when the average monthly air temperature was the highest, the level of general morbidity, infectiousinfectious-parasitic and non non-infectious morbidity was significantly higher than in previous years. A strong positive correlation between them was confirmed this year. It is established that the level of morbidity has a general tendency of growth, with fluctuations over many years. This is observed practically in all diseases. Such a tendency is observed in all age groups. The obtained results show that there is a strong positive correlation between the average monthly air temperature and the level of morbidity and also prove that climate change affects the level of morbidity both in our republic and throughout the world.
