Correlation of Geographic Variables with the Incidence Rate of Dengue Fever in Mexico: A 38-Year Study
The global linear regression presented an R<sup>2</sup> of 0.68 between the mean temperature and the cases of haemorrhagic dengue/severe/with warning signs. The degree of rainfall was not strongly correlated with the incidence rate, except in the eastern part of the country, where average temperature was also strongly correlated with the incidence rate. Nonsevere/classic dengue was most common from 1501 to 2000 m elevation, whereas severe forms of the disease were more prevalent at elevations greater than 2000 m.
