Tóm tắt
Standard methodology for analysis of air pollution epidemiological time series was used to assess association between air pollution and mortality in elderly population of Zagreb, Croatia. During 1995-1997 general mortality in population aged 75 and older was significantly associated with daily concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO/sub 2/), sulphur dioxide (SO/sub 2/) and black smoke. However, only for NO/sub 2/ the estimated curve showed significant effect within the central 90% of its range of daily concentrations. In comparison to previous results for general population, relative mortality rate for elderly was higher, supporting a hypothesis that this population is more sensitive to air pollution.
