Popul Trends. 1997 Winter(90):11-7.
There was a sharp peak in mortality during the 1996/7 winter, resulting in an estimated 49 thousand excess deaths. This article describes the timing of the winter peak, the population affected and the main causes of death. The relationship between excess winter mortality, temperature and influenza is also explored. The peak in the number of deaths in December 1996 and January 1997 coincided with a peak in the number of deaths attributed to influenza and with low temperatures. However, the excess winter mortality was higher than expected, based on the experience of previous winters.
1996/7年冬季死亡率出现急剧高峰，估计导致4.9万人超额死亡。本文描述了冬季高峰出现的时间、受影响人群以及主要死因。还探讨了冬季超额死亡率、气温与流感之间的关系。1996年12月和1997年1月的死亡人数高峰与归因于流感的死亡人数高峰以及低温同时出现。然而，基于以往冬季的经验，冬季超额死亡率高于预期。
