Climate temperature raises the risk of cancer in women in the Middle East …
In a recent study published in public health, there is an interaction between high temperatures as a result of global warming, and some types of cancer in women have increased infections and death rates, especially in the Middle East and North Africa.
Researchers have decided that every small temperature is noticeable at the rates of cancer, such as breasts, ovaries, cervical and uterus. Although the differences seem to be small in terms of numbers for each degree, the overall effect of public health is worrying.
This study, which includes 17 Arab countries data between 1998 and 2019, combined severe climate change by increasing cancer rates in six countries: Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Syria.
The highest spread rates were recorded in Qatar, while Bahrain came to the following position. The numbers showed that the uterine cancer recorded the high increase rates, while breast cancer was less likely to suffer, but it is still in a risk circle.
There are many reasons for this connection because climate changes are not limited to heat, but the decline of health care systems during food protection, air pollution and disaster.
Weak access to early diagnosis and health services, especially among marginalized groups, increases the health status of women in these areas.
According to the key researcher Wafa Abu al -Qir, this study does not prove a direct cause, but it confirms the presence of a system that is repeatedly required, especially because the climate effect can function through many paths: from the increase in the exposure of the coronary components of the cancer, from the biological processes within the cells, from the safety protection.
In the light of these results, the study is demanding that the climate risk ideas combine with public health strategies, improve early choice programs, and create systems that can be changed to accommodate environmental change, and reduce the burden of cancer during the changing climate.
