Impact of climate change on non-communicable diseases
Building upon our collection on the contribution of climate change to the spread of infectious diseases, we are now also calling for articles examining the impact of climate change on non-communicable diseases.
Climate change alters the risks of chronic diseases through affecting dietary, environmental and lifestyle factors. For instance, higher environmental exposures to air pollution, ultraviolet radiation, agricultural chemicals, and infectious agents are linked to long term diseases such as asthma and cancer. Disruptions caused by extreme weather events have healthcare implications for patients with long-term treatment needs.
This collection brings together in one place articles outlining those chronic diseases that are likely to increase due to the effects of climate change.
