Association of cause-specific hospital admissions with high and low temperatures in Thailand: a nationwide time series study
This study examined the relationship between temperature and hospital admissions in Thailand from 2013 to 2019. Analyzing data from 77 provinces, it found a J-shaped association, with risks rising for both cold and hot temperatures. Overall, non-optimum temperatures contributed to 7.57% of outpatient visits and 6.17% of inpatient visits. Hot temperatures had a greater impact, especially among females and young individuals. The findings underscore the need for policymakers to address climate-related health risks in Thailand and similar tropical regions.
Analyzing temperature, humidity, and precipitation trends in six regions ofThailand using innovative trend analysis
The study investigates recent climate trends in Thailand using Mann–Kendall and innovative trend analysis methods. It reveals upward trends in temperature and humidex across all regions, with mixed trends in relative humidity and precipitation. While most variables showed upward trends, significance varied. The findings aid in understanding weather patterns and inform adaptation strategies.
Association between precipitation and mortalitydue to diarrheal diseases by climate zone
This study examined the relationship between precipitation and diarrheal mortality across tropical, temperate, and arid climates in eight middle-income countries. Using data from 1997 to 2019, it found that higher precipitation significantly increased diarrheal mortality in tropical regions, while both extremely dry and wet conditions heightened the risk in temperate and arid climates. These findings underscore the importance of considering climate-specific variations when predicting future diarrheal mortality related to precipitation changes.
Risks of infectious disease hospitalisations in the aftermath of tropical cyclones: a multi-country time-series study
This study examines the link between tropical cyclones and infectious disease hospitalizations across six countries from 2000 to 2019. Each additional cyclone day increased hospitalizations by 9%, with higher risks for intestinal infections, sepsis, and dengue, especially among young people and males. The elevated risks lasted up to two months after cyclone exposure. Trends varied by country, with rising hospitalization rates in Vietnam, Taiwan, and New Zealand, but a decline in South Korea. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions in cyclone-prone areas.
Non-optimum temperatures led to labour productivity burden by causing premature deaths: A multi-country study
This study assessed the labor productivity lost due to premature deaths from non-optimum temperatures across seven countries. It found that both cold and heat-related deaths contribute significantly to productivity loss, with different age groups affected by cold and heat. Socioeconomic factors such as relative deprivation and GDP per capita influenced heat-related productivity losses, highlighting greater impacts on disadvantaged communities. The findings underscore the socioeconomic vulnerabilities associated with temperature-related mortality and its impact on workforce productivity.
