چکیده
A child's heatstroke is an unexpected accident; however, we are able to prevent it analyzing the situation which occurred, and its cause. The large-scale research about a child's heatstroke had not been carried out to the past in Japan. According to Heatstroke STUDY, more than 90% of a child's heatstroke were aged 6 and over; furthermore, 70% of those children were doing sports. I expect that this result will lead to prevention of a child's heatstroke further from now on.
