医疗气象学研究方法进展

Progress in Research Methods of Medical Meteorology

综述了近年来国内外有关医疗气象的研究方法,特别是介绍了统计学方法(相关分析和回归分析方法、时间序列方法),流行病学方法(描述性研究方法、队列研究方法、病例对照和实验流行病学研究方法),毒理学方法(动物实验、细胞分子实验),以及用这些方法所得出的研究结果。对今后医疗气象的研究进行了展望,指出应进一步加强气象与医疗两个学科之间的合作,增强机理方面的研究。利用气象条件对疾病影响的机理性研究结果为医疗气象预报做好服务。

The methods used in the studies of medical meteorology within its developing history are reviewed and classified into three categories： statistic methods, such as the corelational analysis, regression analysis, timeseries analysis; epidemiological methods, such as descriptive studies, cohort studies, casecontrol studies, and experimental epidemiology; toxicological methods, such as animal experiments and cellularmolecular experiments. Besides, the perspectives of these methods are also explored, and some issues that should be paid attention in the future study of Medical Meteorology are discussed. The research results in this field can be useful in the medical meteorological forecasting services.
