متن کاملHeatwave Early Warning Systems and Adaptation Advice to Reduce Human Health Consequences of Heatwaves
INTRODUCTION With climate change, there has been an increase in the frequency, intensity and duration of heatwave events. In response to the devastating mortality and morbidity of recent heatwave events, many countries have introduced heatwave early warning systems (HEWS). HEWS are designed to reduce the avoidable human health consequences of heatwaves through timely notification of prevention ...
متن کاملHeat-Related Hospitalizations in Older Adults: An Amplified Effect of the First Seasonal Heatwave
Older adults are highly vulnerable to the detriment of extreme weather. The rapid non-linear increase in heat-related morbidity is difficult to quantify, hindering the attribution of direct effects of exposure on severe health outcomes. We examine the effects of ambient temperatures on heat-related hospitalizations (HH) among the elderly in presence of strong seasonality and by assessing the ef...
متن کاملLevel of dependency: a simple marker associated with mortality during the 2003 heatwave among French dependent elderly people living in the community or in institutions.
BACKGROUND In France, the August 2003 heat wave was responsible for considerable excess mortality among the elderly. We wonder whether the dependency level could be a marker of the risk for mortality during this heat wave. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of deaths that occurred between 1 and 20 August 2003, conducted in five departments in the Paris area (Ile-de-France) among the beneficia...
