Climate Change-Related Water Disasters' Impact on Population Health.
Tener Goodwin Veenema,Clifton P. Thornton,Roberta Proffitt Lavin,Annah K. Bender,Stella M. Seal,Andrew Corley +5 more
TL;DR: A systematic review of the literature concerning the impact of CCRWDs on public health was conducted in order to identify factors in these events that are amenable to preparedness and mitigation and for nurses to take a leadership role in identifying and advocating for evidence-based policies to plan, prevent, or mitigate these effects.

The impact of the 2016 flood event in Anhui Province, China on infectious diarrhea disease: An interrupted time-series study.
Na Zhang,Dandan Song,Jin Zhang,Wenmin Liao,Kaichao Miao,Shuang Zhong,Shao Lin,Shakoor Hajat,Lianping Yang,Cunrui Huang +9 more
TL;DR: This study provides strong evidence that the 2016 severe flood in Anhui province, China significantly increased infectious diarrheal risk in exposed populations and local public health agencies are advised to develop intervention programs to prevent and control infectious diarrhea risk when a major flood occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the Impact of Rainfall on Diarrhea: Testing the Concentration-Dilution Hypothesis Using a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Alicia N M Kraay,Olivia Man,Morgan C. Levy,Karen Levy,Edward L. Ionides,Joseph N. S. Eisenberg +5 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis suggests that the effect of rainfall depends on the antecedent conditions, and did not find a linear association between nonextreme rain exposures and diarrheal disease, but several studies found a nonlinear association with low and high rain both being associated with diarrhea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health impact of climate change in cities of middle-income countries: the case of China.
TL;DR: Evidence is needed to understand health impacts on vulnerable populations living in growing urbanized cities and urban enclaves, in particular migrant workers, and location-specific climate-health outcome thresholds will be needed to support evidence-based clinical management plans and health impact mitigation strategies to protect vulnerable communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a water cycle management approach to Sponge City construction in Xi'an, China.
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that this new approach of SCC based on WCM could alleviate water resources scarcity problems in Xi'an Siyuan University effectively and will provide a model and example of the new approach for future applications.

The global burden of diarrhoeal disease, as estimated from studies published between 1992 and 2000
TL;DR: Current estimates of the global burden of disease for diarrhoea are reported and compared with previous estimates made using data collected in 1954-79 and 1980-89, finding that the total morbidity component of the disease burden is greater than previously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Health Impacts of Floods: Epidemiologic Evidence
TL;DR: The epidemiologic evidence of flood-related health impacts is reviewed to identify knowledge gaps relevant to the reduction of public health impacts and to summarize and critically appraise evidence of published studies.

Climate change and infectious diseases in Europe
Jan C. Semenza,Bettina Menne +1 more
TL;DR: An assessment of the infectious disease challenges: incidence, prevalence, and distribution are projected to shift in a changing environment and a proactive public health response is proposed by building an integrated network for environmental and epidemiological data.

Integrating pests and pathogens into the climate change/food security debate
TL;DR: More mechanistic inclusion of pests and pathogen effects in crop models would lead to more realistic predictions of crop production on a regional scale and thereby assist in the development of more robust regional food security policies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Floods and human health: a systematic review.
TL;DR: There is a need for effective policies to reduce and prevent flood-related morbidity and mortality, contingent upon the improved understanding of potential health impacts of floods, which must be better reflected in flood preparedness and mitigation programs.
