Résumé
Despite many advances in medicine, there is still a strong relationship between human health and atmospheric conditions. This study determines the effects of thermal comfort conditions on the causes of death in the province of Amasya, which is located in the Mediterranean basin. Meteorological data and monthly mortality data were used as material. As a method, thermal comfort conditions were determined by the Rayman model according to the PET index. Pearson correlation analysis and linear regression analysis methods were used to determine the effects of air temperature and thermal comfort conditions on the causes of death. In conclusion, it has been determined that thermal comfort conditions are effective on the total number of deaths, deaths due to external injuries and poisonings, deaths due to circulatory, and respiratory system diseases, but not for deaths due to other causes. These findings are important for early warning systems, preventive, and protective measures in health systems.
