Abstract

The present authors studied the correlation between acute cerebrovascular insults and the fluctuations of individual meteorological factors, weathers, as well as their dynamics in the occurrence of “fronts”. The investigations were carried out on 463 persons of both sexes with acute cerebrovascular insults. Ali findings were statistically analysed. On the ground of the results the authors found that there was a parallelism between individual meteorological factors (atmospheric pressure, air temperature, and air humidity) and the occurrence of acute cerebrovascular insults. Besides, parallelism was also found between the complex of the factors conditioning the weather dynamics called »fronts« and the occurrence of acute cerebrovascular insults.
