Environmental changes and their impact on human behaviour - Case study of the incidence of skin cancer

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Climatological research over the past two decades makes it clear that the Earth&apos;s climate will change. Climatechange has many, mostly adverse, effects on the human health. Environmental anthropogenic changes representsignificant health risks including factors that may increase probability and seriousness of skin cancer diseases.There are many scientific studies on skin cancer but only a few of them are focused on environment changesand their influence on the behaviour of humans, which may lead to skin cancer. The goal of the research wasto analyse environment changes in the city of Brno (Czech Republic) and their influence on the behaviour of peo-ple and some skin diseases. A research hypothesis was set up that total increase in the incidence of skin diseaseswould be monitored. 1757 patients aged 25-65 years participated in the research. The analysis was performedbased on measured (mean annual temperatures, average monthly temperatures, ultraviolet index values, andnumbers of sunny days and sunny hours) data in 2011-2019. In order to monitor the trend, temperature datafrom 1961 to 2019 were evaluated too. The analysed data indicate that the trend of average monthly and annualtemperatures observed was increasing in recent years. Moreover, based on data obtained from the analyseddoctor&apos;s office it was found out that the incidence of skin diseases increased in the studied period. The main rea-sons to increase include excessive exposure to sun, extended average age of the population, ozone layer deple-tion, climatic and weather changes, increased migration and behaviour of people.
