It is well known that air temperature is closely related to health outcomes. We investigated the relationship between air temperature parameters and the number of deaths stratified by cause in Gifu prefecture, Japan.
The number of deaths stratified by cause in Gifu prefecture Japan between January 2007 and December 2016 was obtained from the official homepage of Gifu prefecture, Japan. Air temperature parameters (℃), i.e., the mean air temperature, mean of the highest air temperature, mean of the lowest air temperature, the highest air temperature, and the lowest air temperature during the same period in Gifu city were also obtained from the Japan Meteorological Agency official home page. The relationship between air temperature parameters and the number of deaths was evaluated in an ecological study.
The number of deaths due to heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, pneumonia, accidents, or renal failure in January (coldest winter season in Japan) was the highest among the months. Simple correlation analysis also demonstrated a significant and negative relationship between air temperature parameters and the number of deaths due to heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, senility, pneumonia, accidents, and renal failure.
Lower air temperature may be associated with a higher number of deaths due to diseases in Gifu prefecture, Japan.
众所周知,气温与健康结果密切相关。我们调查了日本岐阜县气温参数与按病因分层的死亡人数之间的关系。
2007年1月至2016年12月期间日本岐阜县按病因分层的死亡人数来自日本岐阜县的官方主页。同期岐阜市的气温参数(℃),即平均气温、最高气温平均值、最低气温平均值、最高气温和最低气温,也从日本气象厅官方主页获取。在一项生态研究中评估了气温参数与死亡人数之间的关系。
1月(日本最冷的冬季)因心脏病、脑血管疾病、肺炎、事故或肾衰竭导致的死亡人数在各月份中最高。简单相关分析还表明,气温参数与因心脏病、脑血管疾病、衰老、肺炎、事故和肾衰竭导致的死亡人数之间存在显著的负相关关系。
在日本岐阜县,较低的气温可能与因疾病导致的较高死亡人数有关。
