Abstract: Daily respiratory disease consultation records and meteorological data from Wuhai City from 2016 to 2021 were analyzed to assess the influence of meteorological conditions on respiratory health.Spearman correlation analysis was used to identify temperature as a high-impact meteorological factor of respiratory diseases in the region.Generalized additive models (GAMs) and distributional lag nonlinear models (DLNMs) were employed to estimate the attributable fractions (AFs) of temperature to the number of consultation scores (AFs) and to identify vulnerable population groups.The results showed that both low and high temperatures had an immediate effect on respiratory disease visits,with low temperatures having a more dominant and prolonged impact.The peak AF range for the total population was -10 ~ 7 ℃,accounting for 50.2% of total AFs.Sudden temperature changes during seasonal transitions were significantly associated with increased respiratory disease visits,and the diurnal temperature range (DTR) of 8~16 ℃ had a significant immediate effect.Females were found to be more sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
