Background: Addressing vulnerability to heat-related mortality is a necessary step in the
development of policies dictated by heat action plans. We aimed to provide a systematic …

Background: Environmental health research employs a variety of metrics to measure heat
exposure, both to directly study the health effects of outdoor temperature and to control for …

Children are vulnerable to temperature extremes. This paper aimed to review the literature
regarding the relationship between ambient temperature and children's health and to …

Young children are thought to be particularly sensitive to heat waves, but relatively less
research attention has been paid to this field to date. A systematic review was conducted to …

The effects of heat waves (HW) are more pronounced in urban areas than in rural areas due
to the additive effect of the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon. However, the synergies …

This study investigates the interannual variation of heat wave frequency (HWF) in South
Korea during the past 42 years (1973–2014) and examines its connection with large‐scale …

Several recent northern hemisphere summer extremes have been linked to persistent high-
amplitude wave patterns (eg heat waves in Europe 2003, Russia 2010 and in the US 2011 …

Objectives To review the existing research on the effectiveness of heat warning systems
(HWSs) in saving lives and reducing harm. Methods A systematic search of major databases …

This study investigates heat wave variability over Korea during 1979‐2017. It is found that
most of heat waves in Korea can be classified into two distinct types based on the spatial …
