Extreme temperatures, recent warming and seasonal influenza-linking human exposures to respiratory health in southern Germany
Our study demonstrated that extreme temperatures significantly affect respiratory morbidity, with notable influences from seasonal influenza. Sub-period analysis indicated that rising temperatures are already translating into measurable effects on respiratory health, foreshadowing the potentially devastating impacts of global warming on human health. Our results thereby provide highly relevant insights to support targeted public healthcare interventions.
