我们研究了1980年至1995年7月和8月东京夏季期间较高的日最高温度和空气污染物浓度的暴露及其对65岁男性和女性心血管和呼吸系统疾病医院急救运输的影响。心血管疾病有心绞痛、心功能不全、高血压和心肌梗死。呼吸道疾病有哮喘、急、慢性支气管炎和肺炎。除肺炎外，日最高气温与医院紧急运输无关。然而，日最高气温的升高与高血压医院急救运输的减少有关。然而，二氧化氮或颗粒物的浓度或=10微米与心绞痛、心功能不全、心肌梗死、哮喘、急性和慢性支气管炎以及肺炎的日常医院急救运输有关。对于心功能不全、高血压、心肌梗死、哮喘、慢性支气管炎和肺炎，男性每天预计的紧急运输次数高于女性。对于心绞痛和急性支气管炎，男性和女性在每百万人的预期紧急运输次数方面没有差异。
We studied exposures to higher daily maximum temperatures and concentrations of air pollutants in Tokyo during the summer months of July and August from 1980 to 1995 and their effects on hospital emergency transports for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases for males and females > 65 years of age. Cardiovascular diseases were angina, cardiac insufficiency, hypertension, and myocardial infarction. Respiratory diseases were asthma, acute and chronic bronchitis, and pneumonia. Except for pneumonia, daily maximum temperatures were not associated with hospital emergency transports. Increasing daily maximum temperatures, however, were associated with decreased hospital emergency transports for hypertension. Concentrations of nitrogen dioxide or particulate matter < or = 10 microm, however, were associated with daily hospital emergency transports for angina, cardiac insufficiency, myocardial infarction, asthma, acute and chronic bronchitis, and pneumonia. For cardiac insufficiency, hypertension, myocardial infarction, asthma, chronic bronchitis, and pneumonia, the expected daily number of emergency transports per million were greater for males than for females. For angina and acute bronchitis, there were no differences for the expected daily numbers of emergency transports per million between males and females.
