Investigating the meteorological factors influencing upper respiratory tract infections: An observational study by Yeşim Yüksel, Cihan Bedel, Fatih Selvi, Okkes Zortuk, Yusuf Karanci

“…Significant differences were observed among the seasons (F: 75.397, p < 0.001; Post Hoc Tukey: Spring > all, Summer > Autumn, Winter > Autumn). Correlation analysis demonstrated a negative relationship between URI cases and air temperature, dew point, and wind speed, while changes in atmospheric pressure showed a positive correlation (r values: -0.542, -0.384, -0.038, and 0.440, respectively).Conclusions: The incidence of URIs varies throughout the year, demonstrating a negative correlation with air temperature, dew point, humidity, and wind speed, while showing a positive correlation with changes in atmospheric pressure. …”
