The effect of temperature and thermal atmospheric conditions on mortality in Bangladesh

摘要

Mortality underlies seasonal fluctuations and seems to be associated with temperature and other meteorological parameters. Most studies on the atmosphere-health relationship have been conducted in industrialized countries of the mid-latitudes. Due to the strong variations between different regions and locations, as well as the confounding effect by non-atmospheric parameters,results obtained from those studies cannot be directly applied in the context of a tropical developing country. In this paper we present some selected results obtained from our combined analysis of mortality and meteorological data.
