We examined the negative relation between temperature and the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in 22 communities in seven countries. We estimated the percentage increase in SIDS rate for a 1 degree C drop in climatic temperature. The relation differed substantially among communities. In New Zealand and Australia (10 communities), the association was consistently strong; in Europe (seven communities), it varied from strong to weak; and in the USA (five communities), it was moderate or weak. We postulate that low climatic temperature indirectly increases the incidence of SIDS, particularly in countries where outdoor climatic temperature modifies the indoor temperature and clothing habits.
我们研究了七个国家22个社区中温度与婴儿猝死综合征（SIDS）之间的负相关关系。我们估计了气候温度每下降1摄氏度时SIDS发生率的百分比增幅。不同社区之间的这种关系差异很大。在新西兰和澳大利亚（10个社区），这种关联一直很强；在欧洲（7个社区），其强度从强到弱不等；而在美国（5个社区），这种关联为中等或较弱。我们推测，气候温度低会间接增加SIDS的发生率，尤其是在户外气候温度会影响室内温度和衣着习惯的国家。
