Climatic discomfort and morbidity at the Russian Far East

A detailed spatial characteristic of the climate discomfort is given for the federal subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District, based on the index of Normal equivalent-effective temperature. Differences between Normal equivalent-effective temperature and air temperature depend on humidity and wind speed. Spatial patterns of all-cause morbidity and cause-specific morbidity for the definite disease sensitive to climatic influence are analyzed. The high dependence of morbidity in Far Eastern Federal District and climatic conditions expressed by Normal equivalent-effective temperature, first of all, diseases of the respiratory system, is discussed.
