Title: Effects of Climate Change on Public Health 2015-2020. Year:2020
A systematic review.

Author: Lidice Alvarez-Miño

Source: Rev. Esp. Salud Publica vol.95

Keywords: Climate change; Public health; Systematic review

Main ideas: - The systematic review focuses on the effects of anthropogenic


climate change on public health over the past five years.
- Measures are proposed to address the effects of climate change on health,
such as the implementation of adaptation and mitigation plans, the promotion of
healthy lifestyles, and the improvement of epidemiological surveillance.
- Health effects related to temperature variation and heat waves, alteration of
rainfall and drought periods, change in vector, host and reservoir dynamics, and
air pollution by emissions were identified.
- The relationship between climate change and health is important in the current
context due to the magnitude of the effects on public health and the need to take
measures to protect the vulnerable population.

b. Article Analysis
-The article "Effects of climate change on public health 2015-2020. A systematic
review. It offers a valuable contribution to the field of public health by providing a
comprehensive view of the impacts of climate change on population health. The
article addresses a relevant topic, contributes to existing knowledge, guides
decision-making, increases public awareness, and provides a basis for future
research in the field of public health and climate change.
Detailed analysis of the effects of climate change on public health, including
temperature variation, heat waves, alteration of rainfall and drought periods, and
air pollution, offers a comprehensive understanding of the challenges facing public
health in the context of climate change. In addition, the proposal of measures to
address these effects, such as the implementation of adaptation and mitigation
plans, the promotion of healthy lifestyles and the improvement of epidemiological
surveillance, demonstrates a proactive and action-oriented approach.
The systematic review that was conducted in the article provides a solid foundation
for future research in the field of public health and climate change, identifying areas
where more research and action is needed.
-This article presents a systematic review of the scientific literature on the effects of
climate change on public health worldwide. The aim of this article is to provide a
review of the literature and scientific evidence available from 2015 to 2020 on the
effects of anthropogenic climate change on public health worldwide

c. Critique of the article


This article presents a rigorous and comprehensive systematic review of the
scientific literature on the effects of climate change on public health. However,
there are a few things it lacks:
Although the article presents a detailed description of the effects of climate change
on public health and proposes measures to address these effects, the practical
implications of these findings for public health policymaking and decision-making
are not discussed.
The article does not address the issue of health equity in relation to the effects of
climate change. It is important to consider how the effects of climate change
disproportionately affect the most vulnerable and marginalized populations.
Overall, despite some limitations, the article provides a useful systematic review of
scientific research on the effects of climate change on public health, and can be a
valuable tool for policymaking and decision-making in the field of public health.
d. Conclusions
The article provides a solid overview of the effects of climate change on public
health.
The systematic review conducted in the article appears to have identified a wide
range of public health effects of climate change, including mortality related to air
pollution, heat waves, changes in population dynamics of disease vectors, and
alterations in rainfall and drought patterns, among others.
Overall, the article highlights the importance of scientific production related to
climate change and health, as well as the need to constantly collect information to
improve public awareness and support decision-making on public health policies.
