Abstract

Influential factors and temporal correlations of hospital admissions and climate variables in Cavite, Philippines were determined via time series analysis. The daily temporal effects of wind speed, dew or frost point, humidity and temperature were related to hospitalizations in Cavite, Philippines from December 2004 to December 2012. It was known that cardiovascular and digestive diseases are influenced by the climate variables. Analyzing relations between hospital admissions and climate variables is a key to understanding the effects of climate variability to public health.
