ABSTRACT

Objective To research the relationship between high temperature and population death in cardio-cerebrovascular diseases in Shijiazhuang.Methods The time series of maximum daily temperature and daily death number of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases were described,and the relationship between daily maximum temperature and daily mortality of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases in summer was analyzed.The impact of daily highest temperature in summer from 2009 to 2011 on daily death of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases was analyzed.Results In summer,the highest temperature which could reach to 41.7℃ emerged mostly in July and August,and when the highest temperaiure was higher than 34℃,cardio-cerebrovascular diseases death increased obviously as the temperature increasing.The relative humidity was more than 70％ in most time of the year round.The excessive death in hot days accounted for 10.9％ in which the old people occupied the majority.Conclusion The extreme high temperature may obviously increase the cardio-cerebrovascular death in Shijiazhuang.
