The total number of the cases was 195 (86 males and 109 females) which represents 9.0% of the total unexpected death. A crude mortality rate (per 100,000 population) was estimated to be 11.3. The rate was highest during the last three years (2006-2008). As previously reported, deaths occurred frequently in the aged group during the winter season, particularly on cold days when the mean air temperature was below 10°C . Further, most of the deaths occurred in the home bath between 4-8 p.m. without alcohol drinking. Sudden death in the bath may occur often in aged individuals when they are living their daily lives. Protective activities by the government and society should be developed to reduce the number of such unfortunate deaths.}, pages = {1--5}, title = {2008年における鹿児島県の浴室内突然死例の検討}, volume = {61}, year = {} }
