摘要：

The effect of environmental temperature on stroke occurrence in a subtropical climate was studied over a 1-year period by documenting the number of strokes (subdivided into cerebral infarct and intracerebral hemorrhage) admitted into a district hospital in Hong Kong at different temperatures. There was no significant correlation between the number of strokes (or its subtypes) per day per temperature category and the environmental minimum or maximum temperature. However, an association was present between the occurrence of cerebral infarcts and maximum temperature on the day of onset in elderly patients aged 70 years and above. Environmental temperature is not a strong risk factor for the occurrence of stroke in a subtropical climate.
