Abstract

Introduction

Heatwaves pose a significant natural threat to human health, with varying impacts on morbidity and mortality.

Materials and methods

This study aimed to characterize the risk of mortality associated with heatwaves (HWs), considering specific causes of death in 21 Argentine cities between 2005 and 2019. An ecological observational epidemiological study was conducted using a time series statistical approach, with generalized additive models. Data were sourced from the Ministry of Health and the National Meteorological Service (NMS). Deaths due to cardiovascular (ICD10: I00-I99), respiratory (J00-J99), and renal (N00-N99) causes during HWs and their temporal lags were analyzed.

Results

In 15 of the 21 cities, a significant increase in mortality was observed for the specific causes analyzed (cardiovascular: 13; respiratory: 10; and renal: 7) during HWs and their lags. Mortality increases were recorded in all regions, including Patagonia, where they were observed in two cities.

Conclusions

The findings of this study will contribute to the development of more effective health promotion and protection policies.

阿根廷城市按具体原因分列的热浪死亡率（2005-2019年）

热浪对人类健康构成重大的自然威胁，对发病率和死亡率有不同的影响。材料和方法本研究旨在描述与热浪（HWs）相关的死亡风险，考虑了2005年至2019年间阿根廷21个城市的具体死亡原因。采用广义加性模型，采用时间序列统计方法进行了生态观察流行病学研究。数据来自卫生部和国家气象局（NMS）。分析了卫生保健期间因心血管（ICD10: I00-I99）、呼吸（J00-J99）和肾脏（N00-N99）原因导致的死亡及其时间滞后。结果在21个城市中，有15个城市在卫生保健及其滞后期的具体原因（心血管疾病：13例，呼吸疾病：10例，肾脏疾病：7例）死亡率显著增加。所有地区的死亡率都有所上升，包括巴塔哥尼亚的两个城市。结论本研究结果将有助于制定更有效的健康促进和保护政策。
