Rising temperatures change sex rate
A new research revealed that during the period of 20 degrees of air temperatures, male baby births are reduced compared to babies. According to the study; high temperatures can reduce the possibility of survival of male fetuses especially during early pregnancy. In the study published in the Journal of the US National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) from Oxford University, the effects of the temperature on human reproductive were reviewed. The researchers analyzed more than 5 million births in India with 33 countries in Substrate Africa. Results showed that exposure to high temperatures increases the risk of loss of the fetus during the early pregnancy and this condition is more pronounced especially in male fetuses.
20 degree critical threshold in the east]
Abdel Ghany, from the common writers of the research, said that the temperature can affect the gender distribution of births, said, “Temperature, who is born and who is not born, effectively shaping human reproductive.” Ghany said that the temperature changes lead to measurable results on the survival rates and family planning behaviours of the fetus, which may also have effects on population structure and sex balance. 20 degrees in research was determined as a critical threshold that sex rate in childbirth began to change. However, the higher rise of the temperature does not lead to the same increase of this effect. Earlier studies have also revealed that overhots can increase the low risk by pushing the ability to regulate the body temperature of pregnant women. In the event that the mother candidate remains thirsty, it can not reach enough blood, oxygen and nutrients to the fetus.[
The change in health increases inequalities[
According to research, the temperature can not only affect biological processes, but also affect family planning behaviors. High temperatures can also indirectly affect access to abortion services through factors such as transportation problems, economic indefiniteity and loss of income. The study also shows that the effects of the temperature are not evenly distributed in society. Women with less resources and women living in fragile conditions are more affected than extreme hot. This situation strengthens the concern that climate change can improve health inequalities. It is noted that temperatures have risen in Europe. Albania, Greece, Portugal and Spain have more than 100 years of hot weather periods in countries such as. According to the data of the World Meteorology Organization, 2024 years were the year seen by one of the highest levels of tropical nights and temperature stress days, which did not fall under 20 degrees.
Easter rates at the lowest level of recent years
Science emphasizes that environmental factors should be conducted more research to figure out the effects of reproductive health due to continuing to increase global temperatures. The researchers also call to take measures to protect mother health and strengthen access to health care. Studies in recent years show that climate change may have effects on both male and female fertility. In 2024, birth rates in many countries in Europe back to the lowest levels of recent decades. According to experts, an average of 2.1 children per woman must be born. But in many countries, this rate is observed under 1.5 for a long time. A comprehensive review of Chile’s Catholic University researchers revealed that climate-borne extreme weather events can seriously affect reproductive processes. According to the study, climate crisis; pregnancy plans, fertility, pregnancy process, birth and parenthood can play a decisive role in many stages.
