Abstract

Background

The rising global incidence of diabetes poses a major health challenge, with growing evidence linking diabetes mellitus (DM) and ambient temperature. Due to compromised heat stress responses, people with diabetes are more vulnerable to extreme weather, common comorbidities, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation. This study examines the impact of ambient temperature on healthcare utilization among diabetes patients in Jakarta, Indonesia, using data from the National Health Insurance program.

Method

The study used 2015–2023 sample data from Indonesia's Healthcare and Social Security Agency (BPJS Health), comprising 2,407,300 participants diagnosed with DM. Claims data were stratified by residence, DM type, and healthcare facility type (primary vs. referral care). These were linked with daily, weekly, and monthly temperature records obtained from the Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG). Negative binomial regression model were applied to assess associations between temperature and DM-related healthcare visits, as the data indicated overdispersion in the count outcomes.

Results

Higher daily average temperatures were associated with increased healthcare visits, particularly in primary care. A 1 °C increase in the 7-day average temperature was associated with a 3 % rise in patient visits, while a 14-day average increase was linked to a 4 % rise. Lag structures reduced daily variability, highlighting consistent associations. Utilization patterns also showed peaks on Mondays and declines on weekends and public holidays.

Conclusions

Diabetic patients are vulnerable to elevated temperatures, potentially due to impaired thermoregulation and medication effects. As climate change exacerbates extreme temperatures, Jakarta's healthcare system may face increased demand. Interventions such as access to cool public spaces, enhanced patient monitoring, and resilient healthcare infrastructure are recommended.
环境温度对印度尼西亚雅加达特别首都地区糖尿病患者医疗服务利用影响的时间序列分析:一项使用印度尼西亚国民健康保险数据的研究
随着全球糖尿病发病率的上升,越来越多的证据表明糖尿病(DM)与环境温度有关,这对健康构成了重大挑战。由于热应激反应受损,糖尿病患者更容易受到极端天气、常见合并症、胰岛素抵抗和慢性炎症的影响。本研究考察了环境温度对印度尼西亚雅加达糖尿病患者医疗保健利用的影响,使用的数据来自国家健康保险计划。该研究使用2015-2023年印度尼西亚医疗保健和社会保障局(BPJS Health)的样本数据,包括2407300名诊断为糖尿病的参与者。索赔数据按居住地、糖尿病类型和医疗机构类型(初级与转诊护理)进行分层。这些数据与从印度尼西亚气象、气候学和地球物理局(BMKG)获得的每日、每周和每月的温度记录相关联。应用负二项回归模型来评估温度与糖尿病相关医疗访问之间的关联,因为数据表明计数结果过度分散。结果较高的日平均气温与就诊次数增加有关,特别是在初级保健中。7天平均气温每升高1°C,就诊人数就会增加3%,而14天平均气温升高则会增加4%。滞后结构减少了日常变化,突出了一致的关联。使用模式也在周一达到峰值,在周末和公共假期下降。结论糖尿病患者易受体温升高的影响,可能与体温调节功能受损和药物作用有关。随着气候变化加剧极端气温,雅加达的医疗保健系统可能面临越来越多的需求。建议采取干预措施,如使用凉爽的公共空间、加强患者监测和弹性医疗保健基础设施。
