Paul Lester Chua 교수의 연구실은 기후변화와 인간 건강의 상호작용을 중심으로 연구를 진행하고 있습니다. 특히 기후변화가 인체에 미치는 영향, 특히 열 관련 질환과 수인성 질환(예: 중증 설사)의 기후적 요인에 대한 영향을 비즈니스 모델링과 통계적 분석을 통해 규명하고자 합니다. 아시아, 특히 필리핀을 중심으로 한 현장 연구와 정책 연계 연구를 통해 기후 적응 전략의 과학적 근거를 마련하고 있습니다.

The impacts of climate change on human health have been observed and projected in the Philippines as vector-borne and heat-related diseases have and continue to increase. As a response, the Philippine government has given priority to climate change and health as one of the main research funding topics. To guide in identifying more specific research topics, a scoping review was done to complement the agenda-setting process by mapping out the extent of climate change and health research done in th
AC has a valuable protective effect from heat despite some unavoidable mortality from anthropogenic heat release. Overall, the use of AC as a major adaptive strategy requires careful consideration.
Epidemiological studies have quantified the association between ambient temperature and diarrhoea. However, to our knowledge, no study has quantified the temperature association for severe diarrhoea cases. In this study, we quantified the association between mean temperature and two severe diarrhoea outcomes, which were mortality and hospital admissions accompanied with dehydration and/or co-morbidities. Using a 12-year dataset of three urban districts of the National Capital Region, Philippines
Associations between precipitation and diarrheal mortality exhibit variations across different climate zones. It is crucial to consider climate-specific variations when generating global projections of future precipitation-related diarrheal mortality.
This study shows that the delayed effect of heatwaves and drought conditions magnifies the risk of dengue in the SEA region. The findings highlight the need for public health interventions to mitigate the potential dengue risks posed by EWEs in the context of climate change in SEA. Future research should investigate the factors influencing variations in the EWE-dengue association across the region to support the development of tailored, location-specific mitigation and prevention strategies.
OPS 12: Morbidity effects of high and low temperatures, Room 315, Floor 3, August 28, 2019, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM Background/Aim: Majority of the literature had investigated association of hospital admissions (HA) due to diarrheal diseases with weather, but few studies has been conducted for diarrheal deaths. To project future excess deaths of diarrhea with climate change, previous studies had utilized HA risk coefficients as proxy to diarrheal deaths. This study aimed to compare the associations
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Climate change is expected to increase in the frequency of intense tropical cyclones which could lead to more negative health outcomes. In this study, associations between tropical cyclones and diarrhea cases in countries from the Northwest Pacific basin were determined. Variations across countries and socioeconomic conditions were also analyzed. METHOD: Morbidity cases of diarrheal diseases (i.e., hospitalizations and surveillance data) were collected from China (2005–2019),
