Abstract:

Heat-wave has been becoming more serious, posing a major threat to residents' health.In this paper, the lagged effects of heat-wave on heatstroke were investigated based on the statistical characteristics of meteorological and heatstroke data from June to September during 2013-2019 in Ningbo by using distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM).The results show that the one-day relative risk (RR) value (95% CI) of heatstroke caused by heat-waves (no hierarchy) reaches the maximum value (P>0.05) on the first day, and the cumulative RR value (95% CI) reaches the maximum value (P>0.05) for the lag of 0-4 day.The maximum one-day RR value (CI) of heatstroke caused by different levels of heat-waves including general, hazardous and severe hazardous heat-waves appears on the first day, and the maximum cumulative RR value (CI) appears on the lag of 0-3 day.In addition, The one-day and cumulative RR values (CIs) of heatstroke caused by heat-wave in the young group (< 65 years old) are significantly lower than in the elderly group (≥ 65 years old).With the heat-wave level enhancing, the one-day and cumulative RR values (CIs) increase gradually.
