Interactions and marginal effects of meteorological factors on haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in different climate zones: Evidence from 254 cities of China.

Background: Haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is climate sensitive. HFRS-weather associations have been investigated by previous studies, but few of them looked into the interaction of meteorological factors on HFRS in different climate zones.

Objective: We aim to explore the interactions and marginal effects of meteorological factors on HFRS in China.

The effects of temperature on human mortality in a Chinese city: burden of disease calculation, attributable risk exploration, and vulnerability identification.

Few studies have examined the attributable fraction (AF) of temperature to mortality and Years of Life Lost (YLL), especially in developing countries. This study aims to explore the short-term effect of the cold and hot temperatures on the cause-specific YLL and mortality, discover the attributable contributions from the temperature variations, and identify the vulnerable populations in Weifang, China. Daily registered death information and meteorological data over the period 2010-2016 were obtained in Weifang, a northern Chinese city.
