Totally, This study included data from 6775 patients with CHD.Results: After adjusting for confounding factors, low air temperature was inversely associated with CHD. Additionally, in the warm season (April–September), the number of daily hospital admissions for CHD was higher (≥ 24.2°C) if the average daily air temperature was low (≤ 15.4°C).Conclusion: Low air temperature might be a risk factor for CHD among the elderly, especially in the warm season.Keywords: air temperature, coronary heart disease, elderly, warm season, cold season |
