Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects of diurnal temperature range(DTR)on measles in Jinan City, Shandong Province. Methods With data of daily measles cases and meteorological data from 1 January, 2005 to 31 December, 2011, we used a distribution lag non-linear model(DLNM)to analyze the effects of DTR on the incidence of measles adjusted for seasonal, long-term trends and other confounding factors. Results A total of 2 198 measles cases were reported in Jinan City from 2005 to 2011, with a sex ratio of 1.28∶1. Children aged <8 months accounted for 20.70% of all cases, children aged ≥8 months and <5 years accounted for 28.43%, patients aged ≥5 and <18 years accounted for 10.92%, and those aged ≥18 accounted for 39.95%. Taking 9.1 ℃ as reference, the risk was the highest when weekly average DTR was the maximum, 13.2 ℃ on lag 2 weeks, as the relative risk(RR)was 1.92(95% CI: 1.47-2.50), when the significant lag range was the maximum. For a 2 ℃ increase in DTR, the risk was the highest in both male and female at 2 weeks lag, with RR values of 1.19(95%CI: 1.08-1.32)and 1.24(95%CI:1.12-1.38)respectively. DTR had the strongest effect on children aged ≥5 and <18 years at 2 weeks lag, with an RR of 1.41(95% CI: 1.15-1.74)and no significant effect on infants aged 8 months and younger. Conclusion The significant impact and lag effect are found between DTR and the incidence of measles in Jinan City. Female and people aged ≥5 and <18 years are more sensitive to DTR. Attention should be paid to DTR, and timely prevention measures should be taken against susceptible population to mitigate the hazard.
