The impact of climate change on weather patterns and adverse events is likely to have negative effects on the health of people with brain conditions, according to a study led by researchers at UCL. The researchers reviewed 332 papers spanning from 1968 to 2023 and found that conditions such as stroke, dementia, and mental health disorders are especially vulnerable to the effects of climate change. As global temperatures rise, populations are increasingly exposed to environmental factors that can exacerbate these brain conditions. The study emphasizes the urgency of understanding and addressing the impact of climate change on neurological and psychiatric health to prevent worsening inequalities.
