Abstract: Floods has become one of the most frequent natural disasters in the world. Increasing evidences show that an increase in frequency and intensity of various natural disasters was observed since the 20th century due to the changing climate, including floods. The deteriorated living condition and the lacking of clean water and health service facilities would assist the transmission of many diseases. Studies have shown that floods may cause adverse impact on human health, and this effect will persist for a long time. Based on the previous literature, we reviewed studies on relationship between floods and human health, methodology and research direction, to provide theoretical basis for responding to the health risks after floods.

Key words: Floods, Health impact, Risk evaluation, Methodology, Systematic review
