About one third of our population is weather-sensitive. The specific symptoms depend from age, sex, health state and social class. A great number of meteorotropic diseases are either caused or intensified by certain meteorological events. The same is true for both alterations of common fitness and physiological parameters. The most important correlation-statistical results from different meteorological study-groups of the past decennials are summarized. By means of these tabularies the physician is able to recognize weather-dependent diseases.

Over a period of 13 years the dates of hospitalization of 17,268 psychically sick persons were correlated with the decimal weather classification. Schizophrenics and neurotic depressives were affected particularly by warm westerly weather conditions, exhaustion and involution depressives and psychopaths by easterly weather conditions. Alcoholics and neurotics are more irritated by unsettled weather conditions, drug addicts by weather conditions with warm air advection from the southwest.

Depressives too, seem to react to rising fronts which are partly combined with fally fronts.
