Solar and Geomagnetic Activities and Related Effects on the Human physiological and Cardio-Health State: Some Results of Azerbaijani and Collaborative Studies

The geospace is very sensitive to solar and geomagnetic activity, to changes in these activities and its manifestations in the near-Earth space environment and on the Earth. The Sun, as the origin of visible and invisible influence, poses a health and safety threat to humans and all kinds of human activities. This paper describes recently obtained results of cross-disciplinary heliobiological studies carried out by Azerbaijani research group in collaboration with colleagues from different countries with purposes of revealing possible effects of solar, geomagnetic and cosmic ray variability on the human physiological and cardiovascular health state in middle latitudes. General conclusions, based on the results of these original researches, are outlined. Effects of severe and weak geomagnetic disturbances, latitudinal effects, and impacts of solar extreme events are briefly provided.
