Reliable information on the epidemiology of heat illness has come, until recently, mainly from the armed forces and, to a lesser extent, from some industries and civil communities. Data from the records of the British Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force, Indian Armed Forces, U.S. Army and forces engaged in the Arab-Israeli wars, from the South African gold mining corporations and Persian Gulf oil tankers, and from civilian communities, mainly in the U.S.A., are reviewed and discussed with particular reference to the classification of heat illness and definition of the terms used, and the effects on acclimatized and non-acclimatized personnel and on other sections of the civilian communities most at risk, i.e. the old and very young. This section concludes with an outline of the classification of acute heat illnesses from 1899 to the eighth revision of the WHO International Classification of Diseases in 1967.
直到最近，关于热射病流行病学的可靠信息主要来自武装部队，在较小程度上也来自一些行业和民间社区。本文回顾并讨论了来自英国陆军、皇家海军、皇家空军、印度武装部队、美国陆军以及参与阿以战争的部队的记录数据，来自南非金矿公司和波斯湾油轮的数据，以及主要来自美国民间社区的数据，特别提及了热射病的分类、所用术语的定义，以及对适应环境者和未适应环境者以及民间社区中风险最高的其他群体（即老年人和儿童）的影响。本节最后概述了1899年至1967年世界卫生组织《国际疾病分类》第八版期间急性热射病的分类。
