Uploaded by Aurora

Abstracts for the ISEE Asia and Western Pacific (AWPC) Chapter are reviewed by the scientific committee of the ISEE Young Conference in Rennes for acceptance and presentation at the conference. Published items in Environmental Epidemiology are organized by session, and they have not been reviewed by the Editorial Board of Environmental Epidemiology. The symposium sessions address climate change and health impacts in Taiwan, including non-communicable disease epidemiology, disaster-prone exposures, and temperature-related cardiovascular outcomes, as well as aeroallergen exposure drivers and health implications.

SYMPOSIUM SYMPOSIUM 1: Health Impacts in Climate-Affected Communities in Taiwan: Drivers and Adaptation Strategies by Pau-Chung Chen (Chair) | Shu-Li Wang (Co-chair) | Wei-Te Wu | Miku Kono | Tsung-Lin Tsai | National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Health Research Institutes, Miaoli, Taiwan; Institute of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, National Taiwan University College of Public Health, Taipei, Taiwan | National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Health Research Institutes, Miaoli, Taiwan |National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Health Research Institutes, Miaoli, Taiwan | National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Health Research Institutes, Miaoli, Taiwan | Health Information and Epidemiology Laboratory, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Chiayi County, Taiwan | National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Health Research Institutes, Miaoli, Taiwan This symposium aims to delve into the intricate relationship between climate change and health outcomes, with a special focus on the epidemiology of non-communicable diseases in regions of Taiwan impacted by climate change. Our goal is to evaluate various factors influencing health, particularly among vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly. We will identify key drivers impacting health outcomes, analyze areas prone to disasters, examine stakeholders involved, and propose adaptive strategies. Our studies specifically investigate the correlation between extreme temperatures and cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases across Taiwan. Through our research, we have successfully identified stroke emergency thresholds and region-specific temperature ranges essential for preserving health. Furthermore, our symposium delves into the broader impact of climate change on public health. We will discuss associations between extreme weather events, changes in air quality, and the consequent increase in physiological and psychological stress among populations. By analyzing birth cohort data and local health indicators, our study also explores climate change’s effects on children’s health, including mental disorders and suicide rates. Additionally, we have projected the Taiwan future incidence of temperature-related ischemic and haemorrhagic strokes as a consequence of global warming. Our aim is to provide a nuanced understanding of variation and uncertainty in future temperature-related incidence by incorporating a range of scenarios that consider demographic and climate changes specific to Taiwan. SYMPOSIUM 2: Aeroallergen Exposure: Determinants, Climate Change Influences and Health Implications by Kayo Ueda (Chair) | Kritika Poudel (Co-chair) | Nur Sabrina Idrose | Rachel Tham | Nicholas Osborne | Vineetha Vincent | Department of Hygiene, Graduate School of Medicine, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan | Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, Royal Children’s Hospital, Parkville, VIC, Australia | Allergy and Lung Health Unit, Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, The University of Melbourne, 3053 Carlton VIC, Australia | Allergy and Lung Health Unit, Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, The University of Melbourne, 3053 Carl
