一项研究将极端热量和社会因素与老年美国人的癫痫发病率上升联系起来,确定“美国癫痫带”为“美国癫痫带”。 A study links extreme heat and social factors to rising epilepsy rates in older Americans, identifying a "U.S. epilepsy belt."

一项新研究发现,“美国癫痫带”影响老年人,将较高的癫痫发病率与环境和社会经济因素联系起来,如极端热、睡眠差、无活动、肥胖和获得医疗保健的机会有限。 A new study has identified a "U.S. epilepsy belt" affecting older adults, linking higher epilepsy rates to environmental and socioeconomic factors like extreme heat, poor sleep, inactivity, obesity, and limited healthcare access. 研究人员对480万《医疗保健计划》受益者提供的数据进行了分析,发现有95度热指数日以上和初级保健提供者短缺的地区,癫痫发病率上升,这是将极端热与老年人新的癫痫病例联系起来的第一个有力证据。 Analyzing data from 4.8 million Medicare beneficiaries, researchers found that regions with more than 95-degree heat index days and shortages of primary care providers had elevated epilepsy incidence, marking the first strong evidence tying extreme heat to new epilepsy cases in older adults. 调查结果由Case Western储备大学牵头,由疾病防治中心资助,强调气候变化和社会决定因素是关键的健康驱动因素,敦促采取有针对性的公共卫生干预措施。 The findings, led by Case Western Reserve University and funded by the CDC, emphasize climate change and social determinants as key health drivers, urging targeted public health interventions. 由于数据限制,阿拉斯加和夏威夷被排除在外。 Alaska and Hawaii were excluded due to data limitations.
