How does mortality due to heat and cold vary across European urban areas? TheLancetPlanet TheLancet globalwarming climatechange europe mortality heat cold death publichealth news data
By Dr. Chinta SidharthanApr 6 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in The Lancet Planetary Health Journal, researchers comprehensively assessed the mortality impact of non-optimal temperatures in European cities and determined the varying risk due to demographic and vulnerability factors.
Close to 40% of the population of Europe is believed to live in cities, and the stress associated with extreme temperatures, especially heat, is more pronounced in urban areas. These cities obtained the daily all-cause and non-accidental daily mortality counts and vital statistics comprising demographic structure and crude death rates.
A modeling framework was used to assess the mortality impact of heat and cold specific to age and the city. The vulnerability patterns based on demographic and city-specific factors were used to derive excess mortality rates associated with heat and cold and minimum mortality temperatures.
