title: ON CONNECTION OF VARIATIONS BETWEEN HARD COSMIC RAY FLUX, TEMPERATURE AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES IN VILNIUS AND SUNSPOT NUMBER DURING 2001–2012
abstract: The connection has been found between the course of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and the hard cosmic ray flux (HCRF) near the ground surface in Vilnius. The course of air temperature and number of sunspot was simultaneously considered. The investigation was carried out for the average annual and average monthly values in the period of solar cycle 2001–2012. The course of average annual data is most identical for HCRF and number of sunspot: whereas, it significantly differs from CVD and temperat
