Abstract
Although studies have demonstrated the influence of meteorological factors on morbidity and mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), research focusing specifically on their impact on hospitalization for T2DM with complications remains Limited.This study aimed to investigate the impact of meteorological factors on hospitalization for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with complications. The distributed lag nonlinear modelling (DLNM) was used to investigate this effect of temperature and relative humidity (RH) on hospitalization for T2DM with complications. A total of 50,108 T2DM hospitalizations with complications were performed from 2014 to 2019 in Lanzhou, China. Compared to the reference temperature of 12.7 °C, low temperature (-4.1 °C) had harmful effects, with the maximum impact at lag0-1 (cumulative RR = 1.0265, 95% CI: 1.0024,1.0512). High RH (76.70%), compared to the reference of 51.17%, also had hazardous effects, with the maximum impact at lag0-21 (cumulative RR = 1.2307, 95% CI: 1.1265,1.3445). Subgroup analyses showed that low temperature and high RH particularly affected males and individuals aged < 65 years. Low temperature and high RH had a harmful impact on T2DM hospitalizations with complications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal publishes original research papers, review articles and short communications on studies examining the interactions between living organisms and factors of the natural and artificial atmospheric environment.
Living organisms extend from single cell organisms, to plants and animals, including humans. The atmospheric environment includes climate and weather, electromagnetic radiation, and chemical and biological pollutants. The journal embraces basic and applied research and practical aspects such as living conditions, agriculture, forestry, and health.
The journal is published for the International Society of Biometeorology, and most membership categories include a subscription to the Journal.
