Temperature, relative humidity and elderly type 2 diabetes mortality: A spatiotemporal analysis in Shandong, China
Higher mean temperatures and relative humidities increased the risk of elderly T2DM mortality in Shandong Province. However, a higher humidity level decreased the T2DM mortality risk in winter in Shandong Province. This research indicated that the spatiotemporal method could be a useful tool to assess the impact of socio-environmental factors on health by combining the spatial and temporal effects.
