Short-term impact of temperature on infectious diarrhea in southeast coastal area of China, 2005-2013 / 中华预防医学杂志

To investigate the short-term impact of temperature on infectious diarrhea in southeast coastal area of China from 2005 to 2013. Two-stage analysis was used to deal with the data of infectious diarrhea from 41 cities in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong Province. Compared with the P50 temperature, the risk of infectious diarrhea within lag 0-3 d increased when the temperature was between P22.8 and P40.4 or higher than P51.6. The RR value was highest (1.17, 95%CI: 1.11-1.23) when the temperature is at P90.1. High temperature could increase the risk of infectious diarrhea in southeast coastal area of China.
