研究发现热浪会增加阿尔茨海默氏症、痴呆症和帕金森氏症患者的死亡和住院风险。 Study finds heat waves boost death and hospitalization risks for Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's patients.

JAMA神经学最近的一项研究将热浪与阿尔茨海默氏病、痴呆症和帕金森氏病等脑退化性脑疾病患者的死亡和住院风险提高联系起来。 A recent study in JAMA Neurology links heat waves to a higher risk of death and hospitalization for people with degenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's. 每1度华氏升至93度以上,风险增加10%以上。 The risk increases by over 10% for every 1-degree Fahrenheit rise above 93 degrees. 这些病人由于他们的病情和药物干扰了身体的冷却机制而更加脆弱。 These patients are more vulnerable due to their conditions and medications that interfere with the body's cooling mechanisms. 建议医生使用远程医疗和定期入院检查,以便在热浪期间帮助保护这些病人。 Doctors are advised to use telemedicine and regular check-ins to help protect these patients during heat waves.
