目的：心血管疾病(CVD)与气象变量和污染物水平密切相关。方法：从1996年到2000年，使用包括温度、相对湿度和风等气象变量在内的生物气象指标来衡量65岁老年人死亡率的热舒适性，并对心血管疾病进行量化。结果：统计分析表明，心血管疾病与气象变量和热舒适指数之间存在显著的负负荷。CVD曲线呈U型，冷应激值高于热应激值。结果清楚地显示了心血管疾病死亡率的季节性变化，冬季的死亡率更高。气象变量以及热舒适性指数都起到了重要作用。空气污染物PM10和SO2，除臭氧外，与心血管疾病呈正相关，尽管没有统计意义。(C)2007 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Objective: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been associated with meteorological variables and pollutant levels. However, these relationships have rarely been studied in Sao Paulo, Brazil.Methods: From 1996 to 2000, biometeorological indices including meteorological variables such as temperature, relative humidity, and wind were used to measure thermal comfort in elderly people mortality ( > 65 years old), and CVD was quantified.Results: Statistical analysis showed a significant negative loading between CVD and meteorological variables as well as thermal comfort indices. The CVD curve was a U-shaped, showing higher value for cold stress than for heat stress. The results clearly show seasonal variations in CVD mortality rates, which were higher in winter. Meteorological variables were found to play an important role as well as through the thermal comfort indices. The air pollutants, PM10 and SO2, except ozone, presented positive loadings with CVD, albeit less than statistically significant. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
