Abstract
In this study, we have analyzed the relationship between the mortality rate due to cardiovascular diseases and the variations in weather conditions for Dolj county situated in the Southern part of Romania. For this purpose, we used monthly-aggregated medical data for the period 2003-2013, provided by the Authority of Public Health Dolj. The meteorological parameters, including daily maximum and minimum air temperature, daily mean relative humidity and daily mean atmospheric pressure, were taken from the freely available ROCADA dataset. A comparison of our results with those from studies for other geographical regions generally reveals similar responses in medical data due to climate variability. In addition, we have identified an interesting lagged-relation between thermal-related variables in summer and mortality due to cardiovascular diseases in the next winter.
