In terms of the amplitude distribution by age and region (seasonal amplitude refers to the relative fluctuation of diarrhoea within a certain period of time, and it provides pivotal information on the possibility of diarrhoea outbreaks), we found that adults (.515 years) had much greater diarrhoea amplitudes than children (,15 years) (Figure 4 ), but the amplitude in persons .520 years declined progressively with increasing age, reaching its valley in elderly .585 years (Figure 4) , and this decreasing trend was remarkably consistent across years ( Figure S4 (supplementary material)). Demographic, economic, geographic and climate information in all 31 provinces from 2005 to 2012, including population, per capita gross regional product (PGRP), latitude, longitude, monthly average mean temperature, monthly average relative humidity, and monthly average rainfall, were collected from China Statistical Yearbook 27 to identify the putative drivers of diarrhoea seasonality. ./cache/cord-001522-82plcxv9.txt ./txt/cord-001522-82plcxv9.txt
