Natural disasters often affect the most vulnerable countries/communities around the world. However, within the same countries/communities, the impact of natural disasters is far greater on disadvantaged populations. We investigate how wildfires affect asthma prevalence in different populations across California. Our results indicate that although there is no discernible relationship between wildfires and asthma prevalence for California's population as a whole, wildfires and asthma prevalence in Black and senior populations have a strong relationship. We believe there is an urgent need to make high‐resolution health‐related data publicly available for in‐depth analyses of climate change impacts on society and disadvantage communities

自然灾害对弱势群体和弱势群体有偏见:缺乏公开可用的健康相关数据阻碍了处于全球气候危机风口浪尖的研究

自然灾害经常影响世界上最脆弱的国家/社区。然而,在同一国家/社区内,自然灾害对弱势群体的影响要大得多。我们调查了野火如何影响加利福尼亚不同人群的哮喘患病率。我们的结果表明,尽管野火与整个加利福尼亚人口的哮喘患病率之间没有明显的关系,但黑人和老年人群中的野火与哮喘患病率之间存在很强的相关性。我们认为迫切需要公开高分辨率的健康相关数据,以深入分析气候变化对社会和弱势社区的影响
