许多机制将户外天气和气候条件与人类健康联系起来。许多健康状况可能更直接地受到室内而不是室外条件的影响。然而，室内温度和湿度条件与室外变化之间的关系，以及不同室内环境之间关系的异质性在很大程度上是未知的。作者使用2008- 2011年纽约市纽约327个住宅的室内温度和相对湿度的5-14天测量值来调查室内气候、室外气象条件、社会经济条件和建筑描述符之间的关系。研究家庭主要是中等收入家庭，分布在布鲁克林、皇后区、布朗克斯和曼哈顿。在温暖的季节，室内温度与室外温度呈正相关，在社会经济地位较高的社区，研究住宅显着凉爽。在凉爽的季节，室外温度对室内温度的影响很小;然而，尽管室外温度相似，但住宅之间的室内温度可以超过10°C。公寓楼往往比住宅暖和得多，高层住宅也比低层住宅暖和得多。室外比湿度与室内比湿度和相对湿度呈正相关，但室外和室内相对湿度之间的关系并不一致。在纽约市，室内和室外温度和湿度条件之间的关系在住宅之间变化很大。这些结果可用于为健康结果的研究提供信息，其中温度或湿度是影响人类健康的既定因素。研究结果强调，需要对室内气候的决定因素进行更多的研究。
Numerous mechanisms link outdoor weather and climate conditions to human health. It is likely that many health conditions are more directly affected by indoor rather than outdoor conditions. Yet, the relationship between indoor temperature and humidity conditions to outdoor variability, and the heterogeneity of the relationship among different indoor environments are largely unknown. The authors use 5–14-day measures of indoor temperature and relative humidity from 327 dwellings in New York City New York, for the years 2008–11 to investigate the relationship between indoor climate, outdoor meteorological conditions, socioeconomic conditions, and building descriptors. Study households were primarily middle income and located across the boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Manhattan. Indoor temperatures are positively associated with outdoor temperature during the warm season and study dwellings in higher socioeconomic status neighborhoods are significantly cooler. During the cool season, outdoor temperatures have little effect on indoor temperatures; however, indoor temperatures can range more than 10°C between dwellings despite similar outdoor temperatures. Apartment buildings tend to be significantly warmer than houses and dwellings on higher floors are also significantly warmer than dwellings on lower floors. Outdoor specific humidity is positively associated with indoor specific and relative humidity, but there is no consistent relationship between outdoor and indoor relative humidity. In New York City, the relationship between indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity conditions varies significantly between dwellings. These results can be used to inform studies of health outcomes for which temperature or humidity is an established factor affecting human health. The results highlight the need for more research on the determinants of indoor climate.
