The problem of meteorological dependence and meteotropic reactions depending on age, professional characteristics and state of health is relevant and insufficiently disclosed in both Russian and foreign scientific literature. The article presents the results of a two-stage trend study of meteosensitivity and meteotropic reactions, conducted over an interval of 10 years (in 2016 and 2026) using an identical methodology on a sample of 18-year-old first-year medical university students. An analysis of the data obtained showed that 47.0% of the students surveyed in 2016 and 65.6% of the students surveyed in 2026 complained of various intermittent meteotropic reactions. The authors present a review of the current scientific literature on the impact of meteotropic reactions on the health of weather-sensitive individuals. The review utilized the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI), PubMed, and Google Scholar databases.

Key words: students, meteosensitivity, meteotropic reactions, diagnostics
