Daily myocardial infarct deaths from Brisbane, 29 degrees 28' S, and Montreal, 45 degrees 30' N, were used to derive a "pool of susceptible individuals". Pool size had no effect on the minimum death temperature but large pools increased the value of the acceleration temperature in Brisbane and the maximum death temperature in Montreal. Moderately sized pools in Montreal appeared to produce reduced death rates in cold conditions from both cold avoidance and habituation. A generalized relationship between temperature and myocardial infarct death is postulated.
来自南纬29度28分的布里斯班和北纬45度30分的蒙特利尔的每日心肌梗死死亡数据被用于得出一个“易感个体库”。库的规模对最低死亡温度没有影响，但大规模的库增加了布里斯班的加速温度值以及蒙特利尔的最高死亡温度值。蒙特利尔中等规模的库似乎在寒冷条件下因避寒和适应而使死亡率降低。据此推测了温度与心肌梗死死亡之间的普遍关系。
