Heatwave effects on human health and wellbeing is a great public health concern,
especially in the context of climate change. However, no universally consistent heatwave …

The current climate change is responsible for the growth in number of extreme climatic
events like heat waves (HWs), which occur frequently with more intense effects. HW poses …

Few data are available on the health impacts of heatwaves in China, and in particular, the
heatwave definition and vulnerable populations remain to be identified. We collected data …

Background Heatwaves affect human health and global heatwave-related disease burden
will continue to rise as climate change proceeds, but the effects of heatwaves on …

Heat waves and high air temperature are associated with increased morbidity and mortality.
However, the majority of research conducted on this topic is focused on high income areas …

Background: Understanding which populations are vulnerable and which factors affect
vulnerability to temperature-mortality associations is important to reduce the health burden …

Assessing heatwave-induced human health risk is of critical importance in order to mitigate
hazards caused by extreme environmental events. Air temperature or land surface …

Heat waves are extreme events characterized by sweltering weather over an extended
period. Skillful projections of heat waves and their impacts on human mortality can help …

Minimum mortality temperature (MMT) is an important indicator to assess the temperature–
mortality relationship. It reflects human adaptability to local climate. The existing MMT …

Background Evidence on the potential interactive effects of heat and ambient air pollution on
cause-specific mortality is inconclusive and limited to selected locations. Objectives We …
