Abstract

The prevalence of heatrelated cardiorespiratory symptoms among vulnerable groups is not well known We therefore estimated the prevalence of heatrelated cardiorespiratory symptoms among the Finnish population and their associations with social and individual vulnerability factors The data came from the National FINRISK 2007 Study in which 4007 men and women aged 25–74 answered questions on heatrelated cardiorespiratory symptoms in the Oulu Cold and Heat Questionnaire 2007 Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios ORs their 95  confidence intervals CIs and modelpredicted prevalence figures The prevalence of heatrelated cardiorespiratory symptoms was 12  It increased with age from 3  at the age of 25 years to 28  at the age of 75 years The symptoms were associated with preexisting lung OR 393 CI 301–513 and cardiovascular diseases OR 227 178–289 being a pensioner OR 291 165–528 unemployed OR 282 147–548 or working in agriculture OR 227 114–446 compared with working in industry having only basic vs academic education OR 198 131–305 being female OR 194 151–250 being heavy vs light alcohol consumer OR 189 102–332 undertaking hard vs light physical work OR 148106–207 and being inactive vs active in leisure time OR 197 139–281 The adjusted prevalence of symptoms showed a wide range of variation from 3 to 61  depending on sex age professional field education and preexisting lung and cardiovascular diseases In conclusion heatrelated cardiorespiratory symptoms are commonly perceived among people with preexisting lung or cardiovascular disease agricultural workers unemployed pensioners and people having only basic education This information is needed for any planning and targeting measures to reduce the burden of summer heat
