Abstract

Seasonal weather changes often correlate with the incidence of certain illnesses and this association may allow an aid in the deduction of their etiology. In particular, the transmission of viral and bacterial diseases appears to be seasonal. In this study we are interested in how meteorological parameters can influence the outbreak of certain respiratory diseases, such as influenza, bronchiolitis, and asthma. Correlations between diseases and meteorological parameters are investigated based on statistics. The most vulnerable age groups are considered and the trend in the records over three consecutive years is investigated. By applying a thermal index, the most severe types of thermal environment are evaluated throughout the calendar year. The synoptic situation is considered to be the type of atmospheric circulation that causes crises to worsen, with resort to hospital emergency services. The results are in accordance with the literature consulted and can be of value for prevention strategies and for generating research bridges; and they be used for a Risk Education citizenship.
