Abstract
Infection is the entry and proliferation of infectious agents in the tissues of the human body which results in cell damage or pathological tissue. The respiratory tract is an organ starting from the nose to the alveoli and its adnexal organs such as the sinuses, middle ear cavity, and pleura. The research used was descriptive observational research with an ecological time trend study. To the analysis, data was the Pearson correlation. This study aims to see the correlation between Climate Variability and the Incidence Rate of Acute Respiratory Infection in the Kendari City Region in 2014-2018. The data used are Climate Variability (Humidity, Minimum Temperature, Average Temperature, Maximum Temperature, and Rainfall), Population data, and ARI Case in Kendari City 2014-2018. The results of this study indicate that Humidity (%) r=-0.306 Medium correlation and negative pattern, Minimum Temperature (oC) r=0.494, Average Temperature (oC) r=0.232 no correlation, Maximum Temperature (oC) r=0.700 Correlation of strong and positive pattern correlation, and Rainfall (mm) r=-0.612 Relationship of strong correlation and negative pattern.
