Exploring the Relationship between Mumps and Meteorological Factors in Shandong Province, China Based on a Two-Stage Model.

ABSTRACT: Small-scale studies have identified temperature and other meteorological factors as risk factors for human health. However, only a few have quantified the specific impact of meteorological factors on mumps. A quantitative examination of the exposure-response relationship between meteorological factors and mumps is needed to provide new insights for multi-city analysis. The daily recorded number of mumps cases and meteorological data in 17 cities of Shandong Province from 2009 to 2017 were collected. A two-stage model was built to explore the relationship between meteorological factors and mumps. A total of 104,685 cases of mumps were recorded from 2009 to 2017. After controlling for seasonality and long-term trends, the effect of low temperature on mumps was significant at the provincial l
