Winter mortality and its causes.
In the 1970s scientific research focussed for the first time on dramatic rises in mortality every winter, and on smaller rises in unusually hot weather.

Approximately half the remaining winter deaths are caused ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of material deprivation on the winter rise in mortality and temperature dependent variations in mortality. DESIGN Ecological comparison of seasonal mortality at electoral ward level. Main outcome measures were ratios of winter to rest of the year mortality rates (seasonality ratios) and monthly deaths as the outcome variable in a model with monthly average ...
متن کاملEvaluation of cardiovascular and respiratory mortality attributed to atmospheric SO2 and CO using AirQ model

In this study, the health effects of exposure to carbon monoxide (CO) and SO2 in the air of 6 Iranian metropolises in 2011-2012 were examined. Methods: Raw data was collected from the Iranian Department of Environment and the Iran Meteorological Organization. After validation, the required statistical indices were calcul...
متن کاملWinter mortality modifies the heat-mortality association the following summer.
The present study aimed to investigate how the heat-related increase in deaths in summer and the extent of mortality displacement depend on influenza and other categories of mortality in the previous winter, which when low leaves a greater pool of susceptible individuals. Mortality data from Stockholm, Sweden, from 1990-2002 were stratified into a summer period and a winter period. A Poisson re...
