The Gastroenteritis and Extreme Weather Events in Elderly
(GEWEL) study is aimed to explore temporal and spatial patterns
of gastroenteritis infections (GI) respond to extreme weather
events at the national and regional levels in the U.S. With
careful selection and compilation of reliable and accurate
weather information archive and GI hospitalization records
of elderly, we are able to apply sophisticate data visualizations
and analyses. With such results, we hope to improve the
life quality of elderly through a better understanding of
the human-environmental interactions in GI transmission.
