AB  - BACKGROUND: The correlation between stable geomagnetic fields and unstable 
      geomagnetic activities with mortality, incidence, and prevalence of 
      cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remains ambiguous. METHOD: To investigate the 
      correlations between geomagnetic field (GMF) intensity and geomagnetic 
      disturbance (GMD) and CVDs events in global, long-period scale, global and 204 
      countries and territories were included on the base of 2019 Global Burden of 
      Disease study (GBD 2019). Data of GMF intensity, GMD frequency, CVDs events, 
      weather and health economic indicators from 1996 to 2019 of included locations 
      were collected. Linear regression and panel data modelling were conducted to 
      identify the correlations between GMF intensity and CVDs events, multi-factor 
      panel data analysis was also generated to adjust the effect of confounding 
      factors. RESULTS: For the average data during 1996-2019, linear regression model 
      revealed consistent positive correlations between total GMF (tGMF) intensity and 
      mortality of total CVDs [coef = 0.009, (0.006,0.011 95%CI)], whereas negative 
      correlations were found between horizonal GMF (hGMF) intensity and total CVD 
      mortality [coef = -0.010 (-0.013, -0.007 95%CI)]. When considering the time 
      trend, panel data analysis still demonstrated positive correlation between tGMF 
      and total CVDs mortality [coef = 0.009, (0.008,0.009 95%CI)]. Concurrently, the 
      hGMF negatively correlated with total CVDs mortality [coef = -0.008, (-0.009, 
      -0.007 95%CI)]. When the panel models were adjusted for confounding factors, no 
      reverse of correlation tendency was found between tGMF, hGMF and CVDs events. In 
      high-income territories, positive correlation was found between geomagnetic storm 
      (GMS) frequency and mortality of total CVDs [coef = 14.007,(2.785, 25.229 
      95%CI)], however, this positive trend faded away gradually with the latitude 
      decreasing from polar to equator. CONCLUSIONS: Stable and long-term horizontal 
      component of GMF may be beneficial to cardiac health. Unstable and short-term GMF 
      called GMD could be a hazard to cardiac health. Our results suggest the 
      importance of regular GMF in maintaining cardio-health state and the adverse 
      impacts of GMD on cardiac health.
