一项全球研究发现,热带旋风在暴风雨的驱使下,非受伤死亡人数显著增加,特别是肾脏、糖尿病和传染病造成的非受伤死亡。 Tropical cyclones significantly increase non-injury deaths post-storm, especially from kidney, diabetes, and infectious diseases, driven by heavy rain, a global study finds.

根据2000年至2019年对217场风暴进行的一项全球研究,热带气旋在撞击后两周内造成更多非伤害原因造成的死亡,肾病死亡率上升92%,糖尿病、心理健康、传染病和呼吸道死亡显著增加。 Tropical cyclones are causing more deaths from non-injury causes in the two weeks after impact, with a 92% spike in kidney disease deaths and significant increases in diabetes, mental health, infectious, and respiratory deaths, according to a global study of 217 storms from 2000 to 2019. 暴雨而不是风与死亡,特别是心血管疾病和传染病的死亡,更紧密地联系在一起,突出表明随着气候变化加剧风暴并扩大其影响范围,需要有更好的早期预警和卫生系统的复原力。 Heavy rainfall, not wind, was more strongly linked to fatalities, especially for cardiovascular and infectious diseases, highlighting the need for better early warnings and health system resilience as climate change intensifies storms and expands their reach.
