“…No country can avoid the health impacts of climate change. 1,2 As the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gas and the home of a fifth of the world's population, China is facing the health threats posed by climate change. Every province in the country is affected by climate change and each province faces unique risks.…”

“…Every province in the country is affected by climate change and each province faces unique risks. 2 Without a timely and adequate response, climate change will increasingly threaten lives and livelihoods, [3][4][5] jeopardising the realisation of the Healthy China goals and Beautiful China goals (a policy goal proposed by Chinese Government for sustainable development in China, with specific quantified goals for environmental issues, such as air quality). 6,7 With several national health and climate change decisions being developed, 2021 is a very important year for China.…”

“…However, the unequal distribution of economic impacts within countries has not been characterized, especially for China. On the one hand, China has the largest population in the world, most of which is exposed to high temperature risks (Cai et al., 2021; Liu et al., 2017). On the other hand, China is a vast country with regional variations in climate conditions, natural resources and economic development (Mi et al., 2017).…”

“…Extreme temperatures, such as heat effect and cold effect, is an important respect of climate change and a signi cant risk factor for human health throughout the world, associations of temperatures with morbidity and mortality have been supported in numerous scienti c literatures (Bayram 2017 andGronlund et al 2018). In China, a country with one-fth of the world's population, the number of deaths related to heat-waves increased four-fold from 1990 to 2019, reaching 26,800 in 2019 (Cai et al 2020).…”

The relationship between diabetes mellitus and short-term exposure to extreme temperatures remains controversial. A systematic review and metaanalysis were performed to assess the association between extreme temperatures and diabetes mellitus morbidity and mortality. PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) were searched since inception to January 1, 2019, and updated on November 17, 2020. The results were combined using random effects model and reported as relative risk (RR) with 95% con dence interval (CI). 32 studies met the included criteria. (1) Both heat and cold exposures have impact on diabetes. (2) For heat exposure, the subgroup analysis revealed that the effect on diabetes mortality (RR = 1.139, 95% CI: 1.089-1.192) was higher than morbidity (RR = 1.012, 95% CI: 1.004-1.019). (3) With the increase of de nition threshold, the impact of heat exposure on diabetes rised. (4) A stronger association between heat exposure and diabetes was observed in the elderly (≥ 60 years old) (RR = 1.040, 95% CI: 1.017-1.064). In conclusion, both short-term exposure to heat and cold temperatures have impact on diabetes. The elderly is the vulnerable population of diabetes exposure to heat temperature. Developing de nitions of heatwaves at the regional level are suggested.
