Retrospective analysis of meteopathic reactions in sanatoriums of the Moscow region

Abstract

BACKGROUND: When choosing a place of rest and rehabilitation, especially in cardiac patients, it is necessary to take into account the season and climate change to prevent the development of severe meteopathic reactions. AIMS: To study the peculiarity and frequency of meteopathic reactions in sanatorium-resort organizations of the Moscow region, depending on the season and the region of residence of the vacationer. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted based on the medical documentation of vacationers from various regions of Russia who are undergoing sanatorium treatment in sanatoriums of the Moscow region to identify the frequency and severity of meteopathic reactions. RESULTS: it was found that the severity of meteopathic reactions correlates with the age and gender of the vacationer, permanent place of residence, time of year and duration of outdoor stay. CONCLUSION: With age, the percentage of meteopathic reactions increases, reaching 90%, and is compared in men and women after 60 years is equalized. At a younger age, the meteorological stability of women is higher than that of men. The place of residence and the season directly affect the manifestation of meteopathic reactions. In the conditions of the Moscow region with a north-westerly wind, meteorological stability increases. An adequate stay of a person in the open air from 12 to 4 hours a day leads to a decrease in meteorological stability.
