Article Synopsis
- This study in Taiwan analyzed emergency room visits (ERVs) related to temperature across various job groups from 2009 to 2018.
- The results indicated that ERVs for all causes and respiratory issues increased with higher temperatures, particularly among younger and outdoor workers, while circulatory disease risks peaked during cold spells, especially for female workers.
- These findings demonstrate the nuanced relationship between temperature and health risks in different occupations, underscoring the need for targeted public health strategies.
