TL;DR

Results showed that heat-attributable cardiovascular morbidity is projected to increase by more than 30% in several mid- and late-century decades, particularly under RCP8.5, whereas cold-attributable morbidity remains negligible (< 1%) and highly uncertain.

Temperature-Attributable Cardiovascular Mortality in Europe Under Future Climate Scenarios: Projected Impacts of Population Aging and Climate Change to 2080.

AIMS Heat and cold stress are established cardiovascular risk factors. As climate patterns shift and Europe's population ages, quantifying their separate attributable fractions-and projecting future temperature-attributable cardiovascular disease (tCVD) burden-is essential for clinical and policy decision-making. MET...

Impact of Climate Warming on All‐Causes Mortality in China: The Role of Non‐Optimal Temperature Exposure and Multi‐Scenario Projections to 2050

Global warming intensifies non‐optimal temperature exposure (consisting of high and low temperature), which poses severe threats to human health. As the world's most populous country located in temperate and subtropical zones, China is highly vulnerable to temperature‐related mortality, with distinct yearly and populat...

Multi-model ensemble projections of African humid heat extremes and their implications for future health studies

Global warming and extreme heat events have well-documented adverse effects on human health. As a first step to understand the possible future risk for heat-related illness and mortality, this study analyzes climate model projections to constrain model variability and spread related to humid heat extremes over Africa...

Warming, thermal variability, and the 96% decline in childhood respiratory-infection mortality in China: a national time-series analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 and the C-LSAT high-resolution climate dataset

Background Childhood respiratory mortality in China has fallen by over 90% in three decades alongside sustained national warming, yet national long-run evidence on temperature and child respiratory mortality is lacking. Methods We linked Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 mortality estimates for China - lower respirat...

The impact of population ageing on temperature-related mortality projections in the Czech Republic

Climate change and population ageing are jointly reshaping temperature-related mortality patterns in Europe; however, their combined effects remain insufficiently quantified on the national scale. In the Czech Republic, cold-related mortality has historically exceeded heat-related mortality, but this pattern is expecte...
