- Abstract
In this report, the following findings were obtained as a result of evaluating the relationship between the incidence of heat disorders among the elderly and climatic factors in Tokyo from 2010 to 2015. Elderly people are vulnerable to heat, and heat disorders tends to become more severe. In addition, there are many onsets during daily life, and there is a high possibility that the climatic environment of the residential area will affect it. In 2010, 2011 and 2015, the incidence rate of heat disorders among the elderly was relatively high in Tokyoʼs wards and low in Tama municipalities, and the correlation with the accumulation of daily maximum WBGT was higher than that of the daily maximum temperature. In the coastal areas of Tokyo, the daily maximum temperature is lower than that of inland areas, but sometimes the daily maximum WBGT is close and the incidence rate of heat disorders among the elderly is similar to that of inland areas. As a climatic factor for the incidence of heat disorders among the elderly in Tokyo, it was suggested that a phenomenon called a muggy island, in which WBGT is high in the city center, is involved.
