High indoor temperatures increase reporting of acute symptoms: finding mitigating solutions for the climate-vulnerable of Bangladesh
This paper showed that high indoor temperatures could be associated with an increase in symptoms. Housing characteristics (material and environment) decreased indoor temperature. Having shading and a house made from cement was protective to reporting symptoms. Further studies into the compliance of coping behaviours are needed to assess their potential protective effect.
