Influence of extreme temperatures on Global health

Heatstroke and dehydration may occur due to prolonged exposure to very high temperatures, as can cerebrovascular, cardiovascular, and respiratory disorders. As a result, those who reside in the northern hemisphere are more likely to be affected by extreme temperatures. As a result of spending a lot of time outdoors in the hot weather, certain groups, such as the homeless, outdoor workers, and student-athletes, are more vulnerable than others. Additionally, the elderly and families with poor socioeconomic levels may not afford air conditioning equipment, increasing excessive heat exposure (Burke et al., 2018). Other groups, such as the elderly, pregnant women, and small children, are less able to control their body temperatures, making them more sensitive to heatwaves. There is a tendency to see higher temperatures in metropolitan regions than in rural places. Cities are expected to become more vulnerable to heat-related health consequences due to climate change. Air pollution and its implications on human health are also sometimes linked to heatwaves, similar to periods of stagnant air.
