Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the association between particulate matter (PM2.5) and inpatient treatment due to stroke in Danang city in the year of 2019. Five hospitals were selected in our study. On the average, daily mean particulate matter increased in dry season, compared to rain season. The result showed when the difference in daily PM2.5 increased in 1µg/m3, the relative risk of getting stroke increased 1.14 times among elderly (95%CI: 1.025 - 1.267) in rainy season. In dry season, the relative risk in creasing in lag 1 day with RR = 1.017 (95%CI: 1.008 - 1.026). Our study showed an important evidence of the effects of air pollution, especially particulate matter, on stroke among  the elderly in Da Nang.
