This study describes exposure-related hypothermia deaths in the United States from 1970 to 1979. Mortality risk from hypothermia increases with age; at all ages, non-White men are at highest risk and White women at lowest risk. Counts of deaths from hypothermia based on information from death certificate data may be understated. Effective social intervention to prevent hypothermia mortality and morbidity requires better public health surveillance and intensive case-finding.
本研究描述了1970年至1979年美国与暴露相关的低温死亡情况。低温导致的死亡风险随年龄增长而增加；在所有年龄段中，非白人男性风险最高，白人女性风险最低。基于死亡证明数据信息得出的低温死亡人数可能被低估。有效的社会干预措施以预防低温导致的死亡和发病，需要更好的公共卫生监测及强化病例发现。
