气象因素与跌倒关联的流行病学研究进展
Epidemiological research progress on association between meteorological factors and falls
摘要
Abstract
Falls are one of the most common injuries,with a high prevalence and risk of disability,which poses the greatest threat to the health of the elderly.Falls are influenced by a variety of factors,including environmental factors such as slippery pavements,poor meteorological condi-tions,and inadequate lighting.The Sixth Assessment Report of the United Nations Intergovern-mental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)stated that climate change has become more frequent and stronger in recent years,which may threat people's health and lives.This review summarized the progress of epidemiological studies on the association between meteorological factors(e.g.temperature,precipitation,frost,and snowfall)and falls,and found that most of the studies fo-cused on the association between temperature and falls,and the results of different studies varied greatly.While the studies on the association between other meteorological factors and falls were relatively few.Moreover,the mechanisms behind the associations were unclear.There-fore,we point out that it is necessary to further conduct large-sample and multi-centre studies to evaluate the effects of exposure to multiple meteorological factors,and further to explore the mechanisms of the associations,which may provide scientific evidence for better response to cli-mate change.关键词
