The correlational study of the 24 solar terms and meteorological factors with the acute exacerbation of bipolar disorder

This study conducted a large-scale survey on the distribution of acute BD episodes across 24 solar terms in the Chinese population and their correlations with meteorological factors and sociodemographic characteristics. The findings indicate that the distribution of BD acute episodes varies across the 24 solar terms and that there is a correlation between BD acute episodes and certain meteorological factors, particularly drastic changes in temperature and atmospheric pressure, which may account for the differences in the number of BD acute episodes across the solar terms.
