“…The effect of high DTR on the risk of hospitalization for genitourinary disorders was not detected in this study. A possible explanation for this cause is people’s adaptation to high DTR [ 36 ], as residents of Lanzhou City are exposed to wider DTR for a long period of time, and when there is a drastic change in temperature, people get the relevant weather information through radio, television, and the Internet. When the aforementioned weather phenomena occur, people take certain protective measures, such as increasing clothing and staying indoors, to avoid the effects of high DTR on them.…”

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between air temperature and the risk of hospitalization for genitourinary disorders. Methods Distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM) were used to estimate the association between air temperature and the risk of hospitalization for genitourinary disorders, with subgroup analysis by gender and age to identify the susceptible population of temperature-sensitive genitourinary system diseases. Results Low mean temperature (MT) (RR = 2.001, 95% CI: 1.856~2.159), high MT (RR = 2.884, 95% CI: 2.621~3.173) and low diurnal temperature range (DTR) (RR = 1.619, 95% CI: 1.508~1.737) were all associated with the increased risk of hospitalization for genitourinary disorders in the total population analysis, and the high MT effect was stronger than the low MT effect. Subgroup analysis found that high MT was more strongly correlated in male (RR = 2.998, 95% CI: 2.623~3.427) and those <65 years (RR = 3.003, 95% CI: 2.670~3.344), and low DTR was more strongly correlated in female (RR = 1.669, 95% CI: 1.510~1.846) and those <65 years (RR = 1.643, 95% CI: 1.518~1.780). Conclusions The effect of high MT on the risk of hospitalization for genitourinary disorders is more significant than that of low MT. DTR was independently associated with the risk of hospitalization for genitourinary disorders.
