Effect of Monthly Mean Temperature on Accidental Mortality in the Elderly: A Time-Series Analysis in Tokyo, Kyoto, Sapporo, Japan

Extended Abstract Based on monthly mortality from Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) , we have studied on the relationship between temperature and disease deaths in Kyoto and Sapporo [1,2]. As a result, the Optimum Temperature (OT) indicated the lowest mortality showed the difference between the two cities, while the 84th percentile of daily mean temperature in each city showed the minimum mortality rate. As the relationship between plague development and temperature has been clarified [3], it is important to study the relationship between temperature and disease in order to control diseases. However, there are few papers in Japan that study the relationship between temperature and accidental death such as falls for elderly. Finding those OT values and epidemiological threshold quantities is urgent to minimize elderly mortality. The purpose of this presentation is to clarify the relationship between the mortality rate of the elderly from injury and certain other consequences of external causes (ICD10, XIX) and the temperature in Japanese cities. obtain
