Research Progress on Health Risks and Potential Wellness Effects in Plateau Areas
Compared with the plain areas at the same latitude,the plateau areas are climate-sensitive regions. The plateau climate is characterized by low average temperature,rare and concentrated precipitation,low relative humidity,high wind speed,significant wind-cold effect in winter,short or no summer,often accompanied by cold wave,dust storms,snowstorms and other extreme weather. Espe-cially under the background of global warming,the plateau climate is becoming more and more warm and humid,and the phenomenon of climate seasonal drift is more significant. Relevant research confirmed that the altitude low-pressure hypoxia environment will cause dif-ferent degrees of harm to the human body,which is related to altitude,residence time,individual differences and other factors. Moderate altitude,suitable low pressure,hypoxia plateau climate environment,can improve human immunity and physical function. In view of the particularity of the plateau climate and environment and the relative shortage of medical resources in the plateau area,it is of great signifi-cance to explore the potential health and recuperation models under the plateau climate environment and strengthen the development and construction of the plateau health and recuperation medicine for improving the health level of the people who have lived at high altitude for a long time and to reduce the morbidity rate of high altitude diseases among the people who have migrated to high altitude. On the basis of reviewing the characteristics of plateau climate and environment,acute chronic mountain sickness,plateau medicine (including plateau health care medicine),and the potential health effects of plateau climate and environment,this study discuss the research progress of plateau health risk and potential health and recuperation effect at home and abroad,and put forward the health and recuperation concept of "seeking benefits and avoiding harms" in the plateau region,to strengthen the construction of medical infrastructure and personnel training,strengthen the publicity and promotion of plateau health and recuperation medicine,in order to face up to the advantages and disadvantages of the plateau climate environment to the health of relevant people,improve the public's cognition and acceptance of pla-teau health care medicine,and provide scientific basis for the exploitation and utilization of local climate,ecology and environment resources,effectively protect the physical and mental health of local residents and tourists,and support the high-quality development of the local tourism economy.
