Abstract: Objective To explore the impacts of tropical cyclones on the daily outpatient numbers of respiratory diseases in the coastal area of Zhejiang Province in 2012 and 2013. Methods Time-stratified case-crossover study was used to explore the relationship between tropical cyclones and the daily outpatient numbers of respiratory diseases from July to October in 2012 and 2013 in Cangnan County, Zhejiang Province. Poisson regression model was used to control meteorological factors and conduct the statistical analysis. Stratified analysis by gender and age was conducted. Results In the tropical cyclone period, the risk of respiratory diseases increased to a maximum on the 3rd, 4th, and 6th lag days among all population, males, and females, respectively. The risk of respiratory diseases increased to a maximum on the 6th lag day among population aged <15 years old(RR=1.298, 95%CI:1.016~1.658). There was no statistically significant relationship between tropical cyclones and respiratory diseases among population aged from 15 to 65 years old and population aged >65 years old(P>0.05). Conclusion The tropical cyclone may increase the risk of respiratory diseases and there are lagged effects. The population aged <15 years old is more vulnerable.

Key words: Tropical cyclone, Respiratory disease, Case-crossover study, Daily outpatient numbers, Lag effect
