【 摘 要 】

Low air temperatures in the circumpolar region have a negative impact on human health. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. According to our study, mortality from CVD is higher in the circumpolar region than in more southern latitudes. The first part of our study was devoted to experiments on diving reflex. The experiment involved 25 people aged 20-30 years. We found that immersing a person's face in cold water leads to an increase in heart rate (heart rate). The second part of our study was to identify the correlation between the daily low air temperature and citizens' requests for medical care due to ischemic heart disease (ISD) in the Arkhangelsk region, Russia (2013-2018). We studied groups of 5869 adults of working age (18-60 years) and 45812 adults older than working age (60+). For the able-bodied population, the correlation mentioned above was extremely weak. This is due to the good adaptation of the body to lower ambient temperature. For the population older than the working age, the correlation was stronger. This is due to a decrease in body adaptation to temperature reduce.
