Prevention of Pneumonia: Understanding the Causes and Risk Factors for Lung Health and Family Well-being
Pneumonia, a serious condition involving inflammation of the lungs, can occur more frequently during the summer in countries with four seasons like China, Japan, the United States, Canada, Russia, and Central Europe. This is due to various environmental and human behavioral factors. According to case studies, mycoplasma pneumonia significantly increases with rising average temperatures and relative humidity. The main symptoms of pneumonia include difficulty breathing (shortness of breath), flu-like symptoms, fever, cough, fatigue, and chest pain. The disease can affect one or both lungs and can occur in all age groups, especially children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems who are at higher risk. Pneumonia can be classified into two types: infectious and non-infectious. Infectious pneumonia is caused by infectious agents or pathogens, such as bacteria or viruses, while non-infectious pneumonia is caused by non-infectious factors and other medical conditions.
