Abstract


Objective: This study aims to depict the current situation and determine the correlation of climate factors with several common diseases in Lai Chau province during the period from 2016 to 2023. Methods: Retrospective and secondary data analysis combined with correlational research. Results: The top five diseases with the highest incidence rates were Influenza, Diarrhea caused by Adeno virus, Chickenpox, Mumps, and Mumps, with average annual rates of 2427,7; 958,5; 833,3; 194,1 and 92 cases per 100,000 people, respectively. The average monthly temperature was 21,2oC; the average air humidity was 82.7%; and the average monthly rainfall was 181,8mm. Chickenpox exhibited an inverse correlation with average monthly air humidity (p=-0.428 and p<0.001), while Diarrhea showed a positive correlation with average monthly temperature (r=0.403 and p<0.001). Conclusion: The five common diseases in Lai Chau province are Influenza, Diarrhea, Diseases caused by Adeno virus, Chickenpox, and Mumps. The study indicates a moderate correlation between climate factors and Chickenpox, as well as Diarrhea.
