Background Although studies have provided estimates of premature deaths attributable to
either heat or cold in selected countries, none has so far offered a systematic assessment …

Background The systematic evaluation of the results of time-series studies of air pollution is
challenged by differences in model specification and publication bias. Methods We …

Background Prenatal exposure to ambient air pollution has been associated with adverse
birth outcomes, but the potential modifying effect of maternal comorbidities remains …

Background Climate change can directly affect human health by varying exposure to non-optimal
outdoor temperature. However, evidence on this direct impact at a global scale is …

Background Heatwaves are a critical public health problem. There will be an increase in the
frequency and severity of heatwaves under changing climate. However, evidence about the …

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: Few studies have examined variation in the associations between heat waves
and mortality in an international context. Objectives: We aimed to systematically examine the …

Epidemiological analyses of health risks associated with non-optimal temperature are
traditionally based on ground observations from weather stations that offer limited spatial and …

Background Exposure to cold or hot temperatures is associated with premature deaths. We
aimed to evaluate the global, regional, and national mortality burden associated with non-…

Background There are increasing concerns regarding the role of exposure to ambient air
