Diurnal temperature range

Diurnal temperature range has been studied in 6 papers since 2022: 5 observational studies in people, 1 in animals; 1 in the past year. The newest paper, Oct 19, 2026: “Lagged associations between ambient temperature and first-ever ischaemic stroke onset by smoking status: a distributed lag non-linear model study”.

What is Diurnal temperature range linked with?

3

Studies link Diurnal temperature range with 3 measures, most often first-ever ischemic stroke case counts (1 study), sarcopenia (1) and intracerebral hemorrhage (1).

First-ever ischemic stroke case counts

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Diurnal temperature range is associated with first-ever ischemic stroke case counts in humans.

    “Lower diurnal temperature range was associated with increased case counts mainly at lag 0.”

Sarcopenia

upin humans1

1 study
  1. Diurnal temperature range is associated with sarcopenia in humans.

    “higher diurnal temperature range in humans has a positive correlation with the prevalence of sarcopenia.”
