The incidence of acute myocardial infarction was significantly increased for the first 3 weekdays after the transition to daylight saving time in the spring. In contrast, in the autumn, only the first weekday was affected significantly.

Incidence of myocardial infarction with shifts to and from daylight savings time.
Daylight saving time and the incidence of thrombolysis to treat acute ischemic stroke.
Daylight savings time and myocardial infarction
TLDR
In the week following the seasonal time change, DST impacts the timing of presentations for AMI but does not influence the overall incidence of this disease.
Daylight Saving Time and Incidence of Myocardial Infarction: Evidence from a Regression Discontinuity Design
TLDR
This work exploits Daylight Saving Time shift using non-parametric regression discontinuity techniques to provide indisputable evidence that this abrupt disturbance does affect incidence of acute myocardial infarction.
Daylight saving time transitions and acute myocardial infarction
TLDR
The present report supports the possibility that DST transitions represent additional chronobiological feature of AMI, and that risk of an onset varies according to sex, employment status, and the taking of cardiovascular medication.
Daylight saving time transitions are not associated with increased seizure incidence
TLDR
This study aimed to determine whether seizures, which are reportedly influenced by sleep and circadian disruption, also increased in frequency following the transition into DST.
Daylight saving time does not seem to be associated with number of percutaneous coronary interventions for acute myocardial infarction in the Netherlands
TLDR
There was no correlation between the transition to or from DST and a change in the incidence rate of PCI for acute MI, and gender-specific results were comparable.
Daylight savings time transitions and risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest:an interrupted time series analysis.
Daylight saving time and myocardial infarction: should we be worried? A review of the evidence.
TLDR
The results support the presence of an association between DST and a modest increase of AMI occurrence, especially for the spring shift, and with no definite gender specific differences.
Daylight Saving Time and Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Meta-Analysis
TLDR
The risk of acute myocardial infarction increases modestly but significantly after DST transitions, supporting the proposal of DST shifts discontinuation.

TLDR
Ambient temperature and rainfall have substantial effects on children's daily step counts and should therefore be considered when comparing physical activity across different locations or periods.

TLDR
In a large population-based sample, substantial seasonal differences in physical activity among 9-year-olds are observed, and the activity pattern varied across the seasons, emphasizing the need to take season into account when developing physical activity interventions for children.
