Air temperature
Air temperature has been studied in 4 papers since 2016: 4 observational studies in people. The newest paper, Mar 29, 2024: “Effect of air temperature on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations: A single institutional large-scale study in Korea”.

“cumulative adjusted relative risks of hip fracture were 1.35 (95 % CI, 1.26-1.44) at the 5th percentile (15.05 °C) of air temperature”
None of its findings points the other way.

What is Air temperature linked with?
3Studies link Air temperature with 3 measures, most often 25-hydroxyvitamin D (1 study), hip fracture (1) and telomere length (1).
25-hydroxyvitamin D

25-hydroxyvitamin D
upin humans1
Air temperature is associated with 25-hydroxyvitamin D in humans (P < 0.001, adjusted R2 = 0.091).
“In multiple regression analysis, age and monthly mean temperature were associated with 25(OH)D concentrations.”

Air temperature is linked with a higher risk of hip fracture in humans (at the 5th percentile (15.05 °C) of air temperature relative to median) (RR 1.35, 95% CI 1.26-1.44).
