The association between outdoor temperature during the past weeks and current fluid homeostasis
Alterations in human fluid homeostasis may partly explain the observed link between moderately cool outdoor temperatures and adverse health effects weeks later. If so, avoiding altered water balance through moderately increased water intake might mitigate adverse health effects of cool weather.
