以前的研究已经将热浪与不利的健康后果联系起来，使用环境温度作为估计暴露的指标。本研究的目的是测试一种确定个人热暴露的方法。2012年夏天，一个职业暴露组(美国亚利桑那州伯明翰的城市场地管理员N=21)以及来自伯明翰、亚利桑那州(N=30)或美国中西部(N=30)的城乡社区成员连续7天在鞋子上佩戴数据记录温度和光监测器。我们发现，夹在鞋子上的温度监测器为记录个人热暴露提供了一种舒适而可行的方法。在最近气象站记录的环境温度(°C)与个人热暴露显著相关[β0.37，95%CI(0.35，0.39)]，特别是在场地管理员的总户外时间更长的情况下[β0.42，95%CI(0.39，0.46)]。与个人较低的热暴露显著相关的因素包括报告的室内时间[β−2.02，95%CI(−2.15，−1.89)]，报告的收入和GT；20K[β−1.05，95%CI(−1.79，−0.30)]，以及测量的体脂百分比[β−0.07，95%CI(−0.12，−0.02)]。收入和体脂百分比与较低的室内和夜间暴露有显著的相关性，但与室外热暴露无关，这表明家庭热环境的改变在决定总体热暴露方面发挥了重要作用。进一步描述个人特征对热暴露的影响可能有助于制定有针对性的预防与热有关的疾病的战略。
Previous studies have linked heat waves to adverse health outcomes using ambient temperature as a proxy for estimating exposure. The goal of the present study was to test a method for determining personal heat exposure. An occupationally exposed group (urban groundskeepers in Birmingham, AL, USA N=21), as well as urban and rural community members from Birmingham, AL (N=30) or west central AL (N=30) wore data logging temperature and light monitors clipped to the shoe for 7 days during the summer of 2012. We found that a temperature monitor clipped to the shoe provided a comfortable and feasible method for recording personal heat exposure. Ambient temperature (°C) recorded at the nearest weather station was significantly associated with personal heat exposure [β 0.37, 95%CI (0.35, 0.39)], particularly in groundskeepers who spent more of their total time outdoors [β 0.42, 95%CI (0.39, 0.46)]. Factors significantly associated with lower personal heat exposure include reported time indoors [β −2.02, 95%CI (−2.15, −1.89)], reported income > 20K [β −1.05, 95%CI (−1.79, −0.30)], and measured % body fat [β −0.07, 95%CI (−0.12, −0.02)]. There were significant associations between income and % body fat with lower indoor and nighttime exposures, but not with outdoor heat exposure, suggesting modifications of the home thermal environment play an important role in determining overall heat exposure. Further delineation of the effect of personal characteristics on heat exposure may help to develop targeted strategies for preventing heat-related illness.
