“…The correlation between bathwater and ambient temperatures significantly influences bath-related fatalities. Multiple studies have established a robust association between lower air temperatures and bathrelated cardiac arrests, prompting proactive preventive measures during colder forecasts [23,24]. Conversely, extreme bathwater temperatures disrupt thermoregulation, underscoring the risks of prolonged exposure to hot water [25].…”

“…It has been noted that ambient outdoor temperature 8,[11][12][13] is significantly correlated with the incidence of bath-related, including bathtub deaths. Considering sudden deaths of older people in bathtubs, several epidemiological characteristics have been elucidated 8 . Specifically, in the 23 wards of Tokyo, the incidence of bathtub death in men was higher than that in women.…”

“…In terms of the cause of death, Kanawaku et al 8 in 2015 analyzed 999 sudden bathtub deaths of the 1,408 bath-related deaths in the 23 wards of Tokyo. Only 6.18% (87/1408) of the deaths occurred in the washing or changing areas.…”
