A study has claimed to have found a link between solar activity and a rise in heart attacks. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Carried out at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), the study looked at health<\/a> records from S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 dos Campos, in S\u00e3o Paulo state, Brazil, between 1998 and 2005.<\/p>\n

These seven years were considered to have been a particularly active time for solar activity. The study, which was published<\/a> in the journal Communications Medicine<\/em>, examined the prevalence of hospital admissions for myocardial infarction, where the supply of blood to the heart is suddenly stopped.<\/p>\n

During this period, the data included 871 men and 469 women who were admitted with the condition, as well as an examination of variations in Earth’s<\/a> geomagnetic field.<\/p>\n

Luiz Felipe Campos de Rezende is a researcher at the INPE and the corresponding author of the article.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Ag\u00eancia FAPESP, de Rezende said: “We classified the days analyzed as calm, moderate, or disturbed. And the health data were divided by sex and age group [up to 30 years old; between 31 and 60; over 60 years old].<\/p>\n

“It’s worth noting that the number of heart attacks among men is almost twice as high\u2014regardless of geomagnetic conditions.”<\/p>\n

However, it was women who the study said appeared particularly affected, despite nearly double the number of admissions being from men.<\/p>\n

“But when we look at the relative frequency rate of cases, we find that for women, it’s significantly higher during disturbed geomagnetic conditions compared to calm conditions,” de Rezende continued.<\/p>\n

“In the 31\u201360 age group, it’s up to three times higher. Therefore, our results suggest that women are more susceptible to geomagnetic conditions.”<\/p>\n

The effect of variations in the magnetosphere on satellites and communications is widely documented; however, studies since the 1970s have also examined the potential impact these variations might have on the human body.<\/p>\n

However, de Rezende explained that it’s still early days and more work needs to be done to back up the connection between heart attacks and solar activity.<\/p>\n

“The intention isn’t to cause alarm among the population, particularly among women,” he said. “There are some limitations to consider: this is an observational study conducted in a single city, using a sample size that isn’t yet ideal for medical questions.”<\/p>\n

He added: “However, we believe that these findings represent an empirical result of hypothetical significance and relevance that shouldn’t be disregarded in the scientific context.”<\/p>\n

The study further says that it doesn’t disregard other medical issues that could impact a person, like ‘genetic issues, sedentary lifestyles, and habits’.<\/p>\n

It comes as NASA<\/a> has warned that the Sun is moving into an unexpected period of increased activity.<\/p>\n

Jamie Jasinski, of NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California<\/a>, stated that researchers anticipated the Sun would enter a period of low activity in 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut then the trend of declining solar wind ended, and since then plasma and magnetic field parameters have steadily been increasing,\u201d he said<\/a>, adding: “All signs were pointing to the Sun going into a prolonged phase of low activity.<\/p>\n

“So it was a surprise to see that trend reversed. The Sun is slowly waking up.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
