Despite the significant adverse health effects and economic burden of stroke inpatients, there has been a paucity of research specifically analyzing and quantifying the association between meteorological factors, air pollutants, influenza infection, and stroke admissions. This study assessed the impact of environmental factors and influenza activity on stroke admissions in Hong Kong from 1998 to 2019, utilizing population-based records. We employed the number of weekly stroke admissions as the primary outcome measure and matched the number with meteorological factors and air pollutant concentrations. Strain-specific influenza-like illness-positive (ILI+) rates were used as a proxy indicator of influenza activity. A quasi-Poisson generalized additive model in combination with a distributed-lag non-linear model (DLNM) was employed to elucidate the relationship of interest. Over the 22-year period, a total of 1,170,882 stroke-related admissions were recorded in Hong Kong. The cumulative adjusted relative risk (ARR) of stroke admission was significantly increased (cumulative ARR = 1.106, 95% CI, 1.069-1.143) at the 5th percentile of temperature (i.e., 15.08 °C) compared with the median reference level. Using zero as the reference value, the cumulative adjusted relative risks of stroke admission were 1.030 (95% CI, 1.018-1.042) at the 95th percentile of ILI + A/H1N1 rate, and 1.022 (95% CI, 1.007-1.038) at the 95th percentile of ILI + total rate. In conclusion, cold weather and influenza infection are risk factors to stroke admissions. Public health strategies for preventing stroke should be considered such as advocating influenza vaccination programmes during winter.
