Abstract

Resumo/Abstract In order to assess the effect of atmospheric environmental factors on children’s health, we carried out a regression analysis by using paediatric respiratory emergency admissions, several pollutants and meteorological conditions in Barreiro city, Portugal. Although generalized linear models have been used for modeling that kind of data, generalized additive models can be a good option, especially for describing nonlinear covariate effects.
