متن کاملThe Impact of Heat Waves on Mortality in Seven Major Cities in Korea
BACKGROUND Understanding the health impacts of heat waves is important, especially given anticipated increases in the frequency, duration, and intensity of heat waves due to climate change. OBJECTIVES We examined mortality from heat waves in seven major Korean cities for 2000 through 2007 and investigated effect modification by individual characteristics and heat wave characteristics (intensi...
متن کاملHeat-related mortality risk model for climate change impact projection.
OBJECTIVES We previously developed a model for projection of heat-related mortality attributable to climate change. The objective of this paper is to improve the fit and precision of and examine the robustness of the model. METHODS We obtained daily data for number of deaths and maximum temperature from respective governmental organizations of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, the USA, and European count...

Global climate change: impact of heat waves under different definitions on daily mortality in Wuhan, China
Background There was no consistent definition for heat wave worldwide, while a limited number of studies have compared the mortality effect of heat wave as defined differently. This paper aimed to provide epidemiological evidence for policy makers to determine the most appropriate definition for local heat wave warning systems. Methods We developed 45 heat wave definitions (HWs) combining tem...
