Abstract:

Introduction: the risk of hospitalization for asthma influenced by climatic conditions is little explored in Minas Gerais. Objectives: a) to evaluate the influence of climatic factors in hospitalizations for asthma and viral infections of the lower respiratory tract (VILR),2002 to 2012, in children and adolescents living in Belo Horizonte (BH) and to estimate epidemic periods to hospitalizations for asthma; b) to compare local seasonal pattern of hospitalizations for asthma and VILR. Methods: Using hospitalizations for stratified asthma and bronchiolitis aged 0-4 years,the hospital admission guidelines, statistical regression models were applied to evaluate the relationship between the variables. To estimate epidemic periods, the time series model of the ARIMA class was used. Results: An increase in hospitalizations for asthma with increased relative humidity in the post-rainy season was observed, hospitalizations for bronchiolitis were associated with low levels of maximum temperature and precipitation. Conclusion: More rainy periods can increase indoor and outdoor humidity favoring fungal proliferation. Cold periods can also increase the spread of viruses.
