Abstract

Recent research has reported that there are many effects of climate change on allergic disease in humans. The aim of this study was to clarify evidence of the effects of climate change on the prevalence of allergic disease. We reviewed the available evidence of the relation between climate factors and allergic disease. And a systematic online and manual literature search to the theme "allergies and climate change" was made for model-derived keywords. Greater concentrations of carbon dioxide and higher temperatures may increase the prevalence of allergic diseases by increasing pollen quantity, air pollutants and extreme weather events. From a total of n=17,341 hits in the systematic review, 6,005 publications remained for evaluation. Among them, there were 43 domestic research papers. Studies from the intersection of climate factors and allergic disease could be most frequently in the categories asthma, allergic, rhinitis and respiratory disease. In addition to the need for more research, there is the imperative to take preventive and adaptive actions to address increased incidence and exacerbation of allergic diseases associated with climate factor and change.
