Re: Meteorological Factors and Seasonal Stroke Rates

The present study1 further adds to our understating regarding complex role of possible seasonal variations (eg temperature) and their role as risk factors in causation of diseases (eg stroke) in humans. Authors conclude that hot in summer months the risk of ischemic stroke was higher than hemorrhagic stroke.1 Many studies in the past have generated variable evidence regarding the role of weather temperature as a risk factor for stroke (increased risk to lower risk on no risk).1-6 Increasing temperatures can lead to heat related stress thus interfering with sleep and with daily activities of life and resulting negative in health outcomes.
