Abstract

Ambient temperature can affect the survival rate of humans. Studies have shown a relationship between ambient temperature and mortality rate in hot and cold environments. This effect of ambient temperature on mortality seems to be more pronounced in older people. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of thermal stress on cardiovascular mortality and the associated relative risk per degree Celsius in Greek individuals ≥70 years old. Mortality data 1999–2012 were matched with the midday temperature. The present study found a higher circulatory mortality when ambient temperature is below or above the temperature range 6 to 39 °C.

希腊冷热环境中因循环原因导致的死亡率

摘要

环境温度会影响人类的生存率。研究表明，在冷热环境中，环境温度与死亡率之间存在关系。环境温度对死亡率的这种影响似乎在老年人中更为明显。本研究的目的是检查热应激对 70 岁以上希腊个体心血管死亡率的影响以及每摄氏度相关的相对风险。1999-2012 年的死亡率数据与正午温度相匹配。本研究发现，当环境温度低于或高于 6 至 39 °C 的温度范围时，循环死亡率更高。
