Background: Ambient high temperature is associated with death; however, heat-related risk
of death has not been quantified systematically in Ontario, the most populous province in …

Background: The effect of extreme temperature has become an increasing public health
concern. Evaluating the impact of ambient temperature on morbidity has received less …

Background This study describes heat-and cold-related mortality in 12 urban populations in
low-and middle-income countries, thereby extending knowledge of how diverse populations …

Background Extremes of temperature are associated with short-term increases in daily
mortality. Objectives We set out to identify subpopulations and mortality causes with …

The association between ambient temperature and mortality has been established
worldwide, including the authors' prior study in California. Here, they examined cause …

Background: Although studies have documented increased mortality during heat waves,
little information is available on the subgroups most susceptible to these effects. We …

Background: Studies have examined the effects of temperature on mortality in a single city,
country, or region. However, less evidence is available on the variation in the associations …

Background: Climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of extremely hot
weather. The health risks associated with extemely hot weather are not uniform across …

Many studies have reported that the temperature effect on mortality has decreased over
time. However, most of those studies did not consider lag times longer than 10 days, which …

Objectives: The authors examined the increase in mortality associated with hot and cold
temperature in different locations, the determinants of the variability in effect estimates, and …
