CONTENT

• How does the solar activity relate to the human health?

• Which kind of parameters should we use to see the influence of the solar activity?

• What is the best way to give people recommendations in case of the magnetic storm?

PROBLEM

Only sick people are sensitive to the magnetic storms

DOES IT TRUE?

Yes or No?

Response to the magnetic storm begins 2-3 days after the start of the storm

DOES IT TRUE?

Yes or No?

People reaction to the space weather depends on the geographical position

DOES IT TRUE?

Yes or No?

Truth

Only older people are sensitive to the magnetic storms

ONE MORE

MYTH

The cardiovascular system is the main target for the magnetic storm

DOES IT TRUE?

Yes or No?

The magnetic storm is an evil to humanity

DOES IT TRUE?

Yes or

No?

• Daily measurement of the electrocardiogram

• Heart rate variability• Construction of phase portraits

of reference of the cardiac cycle• Blood pressure and pulse• The electrical conductivity of

biologically active points on the skin (more than 200 000 measurements)

• Assessment of subjective human condition itself (physical, emotional, intellectual)

• The body's response to changes in the external environment consists of three phases and compensatory adaptive stress response of the body

• The reaction of people on atmospheric phenomena and on changes in space weather is global, but its features depends on the location

• Historically formed the group in the phase space exhibit similar set of features ECG inherited

• Ethnic characteristic set of attributes have latitudinal difference

• Maximum synchronization of all systems of the body found in the most active periods of 1-year solar cycle, and seasons of the year in March-April and September-October (the equinox - the most magnetically active seasons)

• For healthy people, magnetic storms are a natural exterior clocks. With prolonged absence magnetic storms (over a month) worsens the subjective state of health and increases the degree of randomness of the biosystem as a whole.

• The inhabitants of the southern latitudes are most sensitive to changes in meteorological parameters

SCIENCE ANDMETHODOLOGY

• Relationship between atmospheric parameters and the parameters of the cardiovascular system is nonlinear. To address this issue in the course of empirical studies put option - the rigidity of the weather

• Magnetic storms can only be considered as a "reference point" for research of the impact of space weather on the person because, despite the proven statistical connection between magnetic storms and the state of the subjects, people's reaction depends on many factors, which vary even before the storm (but indirectly related to it)

• Quasiregular heliogeophysical events associated with changes in electromagnetic background of habitat may be the primary sensor for the time dynamics of the cardiovascular and autonomic nervous systems

OUR APPLICATION

K quantifies disturbances in the horizontal component of the Earth’s magnetic field

INDEXES

• Dst -  is an index of magnetic activity derived from a network of near-equatorial geomagnetic observatories that measures the intensity of the globally symmetrical equatorial electrojet (the "ring current")

INDEXES

• S - weather rigidity

• Index that linearizes correlation between indicators of cardiovascular system and magnetic storm
