[Weather and disease].
About one third of our population is weather-sensitive. The specific symptoms depend from age, sex, health state and social class. A great number of meteorotropic diseases are either caused or intensified by certain meteorological events. The same is true for both alterations of common fitness and physiological parameters. The most important correlation-statistical results from different meteorological study-groups of the past decennials are summarized. By means of these tabularies the physician is able to recognize weather-dependent diseases. The telephone-service of the Deutschen Wetterdienst (bioprog) keeps him informed of the actual weather-situation. Taking advantage of these possibilities every physician can give prophylactic medicare.
