Resumo
Considering that the climate and weather interact in the Earth system and, consequently, with living things such as human beings, even the slightest seasonal variations and weather changes can trigger or significantly aggravate the health state and well-being of individuals. In this research, atmospheric elements such as maximum and minimum temperatures, low humidity and atmospheric pressure variation, have a prominent position. Therefore, this thesis aims to investigate the relation between thermal variation and morbidity-mortality by cardiovascular diseases on the city of Goiânia, Goiás, from 1999 to 2017. For this, the Brazilian Geographic Climatology and the Geography of Health served as theoretical framework. The methodology was supported mainly by rhythmic analysis and the Pearson correlation coefficient, with the first one allowing for a systemic approach. As for the major results, it was possible to observe that cardiovascular diseases in Goiânia are prevalent during winter and in advanced age groups. The statistical analysis allowed to infer that atmospheric pressure and low relative humidity of the air answer significantly for the aggravation of those diseases, since they were directly related to both intensive care admittance and fatal outcomes. Lastly, the dynamic evaluation, undertaken by the rhythmic analysis, evidenced that the southern and eastern currents can destabilize the human organism – during the passage of these systems on the studied area, there was an increase in the number of deaths.
