The impact of heat waves on mortality.
BACKGROUND Heat waves have been linked with an increase in mortality, but the associated risk has been only partly characterized. METHODS We examined this association by decomposing the risk for temperature into a "main effect" due to independent effects of daily high temperatures, and an "added" effect due to sustained duration of heat during waves, using data from 108 communities in the Uni...
متن کاملClimate and health: mortality attributable to heat and cold
320 www.thelancet.com Vol 386 July 25, 2015 The European heatwave of 2003 showed the potentially disastrous eff ects of heatwaves. About 70 000 premature deaths resulted, notably in France, and a series of lethal heatwaves have subsequently occurred in several countries. However, less well appreciated is the similar burden of mortality from moderately hot weather, which, depending on defi nitio...
متن کاملWeather-related mortality: how heat, cold, and heat waves affect mortality in the United States.
BACKGROUND Many studies have linked weather to mortality; however, role of such critical factors as regional variation, susceptible populations, and acclimatization remain unresolved. METHODS We applied time-series models to 107 US communities allowing a nonlinear relationship between temperature and mortality by using a 14-year dataset. Second-stage analysis was used to relate cold, heat, an...
متن کاملHeat Waves in the United States: Mortality Risk during Heat Waves and Effect Modification by Heat Wave Characteristics in 43 U.S. Communities
BACKGROUND Devastating health effects from recent heat waves, and projected increases in frequency, duration, and severity of heat waves from climate change, highlight the importance of understanding health consequences of heat waves. OBJECTIVES We analyzed mortality risk for heat waves in 43 U.S. cities (1987-2005) and investigated how effects relate to heat waves' intensity, duration, or ti...
متن کاملImpacts of the 2015 Heat Waves on Mortality in the Czech Republic—A Comparison with Previous Heat Waves
This study aimed to assess the impacts of heat waves during the summer of 2015 on mortality in the Czech Republic and to compare them with those of heat waves back to the previous record-breaking summer of 1994. We analyzed daily natural-cause mortality across the country's entire population. A mortality baseline was determined using generalized additive models adjusted for long-term trends, se...
