Key Points Health Implications of Climate Change and Extreme Heat Heat waves are
increasing in frequency, duration, and intensity and are already a substantial threat to …

Abstract Background South Asia is highly vulnerable to climate change and is projected to
experience some of the highest increases in average annual temperatures throughout the …

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered an unprecedented rise in mortality that translated into life
expectancy losses around the world, with only a few exceptions. We estimate life expectancy …

The recent concurrence of electrical grid failure events in time with extreme temperatures is
compounding the population health risks of extreme weather episodes. Here, we combine …

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 …

Excess mortality studies provide crucial information regarding the health burden of
pandemics and other large-scale events. Here, we use time series approaches to separate …

Background In many regions globally, buildings designed for harnessing heat during the
cold exacerbate thermal exposures during heat waves (HWs) by maintaining elevated …

Importance Heat exposure is known to have a complex set of physiological effects on
multiple organ systems, but current understanding of the health effects is mostly based on …

There is near consensus in the scientific community that humans will experience higher
future temperatures due to the ongoing accumulation of greenhouse gases in the …

Period life expectancy is one of the most used summary indicators for the overall health of a
population. Its levels and trends direct health policies, and researchers try to identify the …
