On seasonality and maternity

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The statement of Hippocrates on the relevance of seasonality led to various theories culminating in the effect of climate change for seasoning of the human body. Whereas reproductive epidemiology has been useful to assess health trends over years, interesting observations emerged regarding seasonality and other time-related variations in outcome studies of maternal health services. Rainy and dry seasons have their own particular influences on health care. There are also challenges regarding access, whether for transport or quality of care with the weekend effect. By examining time-related variations, other studies, whether institutional or population-based, have the potential to provide valuable insights.
