In this study there has been investigated the effect of climatic factors on the occurrence of the bronchial asthma. The study was performed among 129 patients aged 5-67 years in the region of west Herzegovina (Bosnia and Herzegovina) with mild climate. The attacks of the asthma were checked on each individual patient by questionnaire as well as by reporting at polyclinical's investigation in several centres according to the months (year when attack polyclinic occur). From meteorological services there were obtained the monthly values of temperature, relative humidity of air and the number of hours of sunshine per month. The highest number of the asthmatic attacks were during the period from XI-I month of highest humidity and the lowest temperature. In this period individuals over 35 years were ill more frequently while younger than 34 have more asthmatic attacks during the period III-V months. The coefficient of multiple correlation R express connection among the asthmatic attacks with each meteorological factors. The coefficient was high R = 0.494 which means that in 90% of cases of the attacks of the asthma bronchial the climatic factors have also participated.
本研究调查了气候因素对支气管哮喘发病的影响。该研究在黑塞哥维那西部（波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那）气候温和地区的129名年龄在5至67岁的患者中进行。通过问卷调查以及在多个中心根据月份（哮喘发作的多诊所调查年份）在多诊所调查时的报告，对每位患者的哮喘发作情况进行了检查。从气象服务部门获取了每月的温度值、空气相对湿度和每月日照小时数。哮喘发作次数最多的时期是湿度最高和温度最低的11月至1月。在此期间，35岁以上的人患病更频繁，而34岁以下的人在3月至5月期间哮喘发作次数更多。多重相关系数R表示哮喘发作与每个气象因素之间的联系。该系数较高，R = 0.494，这意味着在90%的支气管哮喘发作病例中，气候因素也起到了作用。
