<s>[INST] Are people living in cold climatic conditions more prone to pneumonia? [/INST] Pneumonia is not related to weather conditions. People living in cold areas mostly stay indoors to keep themselves warm. As they do not come in contact with fresh air and sunlight too often, bacteria growth becomes easier. Thus, making them susceptible to pneumonia. Again, people living in tropical regions already have hot climatic conditions favorable for bacterial growth. Thus, pneumonia is equally common in these areas as well. Source: Medifee. Link: https://www.medifee.com/faq/pneumonia. Field: Lung Disease. Disease: Pneumonia </s>
