The effect of high temperature on cause-specific mortality: A multi-county analysis in China

Abstract: Although existing studies have linked high temperature to mortality in a small number of regions, less evidence is available on the variation in the associations between high temperature exposure and cause-specific mortality of multiple regions in China. Our study focused on the use of time series analysis to quantify the association between high temperature and different cause-specific mortalities for susceptible populations for 43 counties in China. Two-stage analyses adopting a distributed lag non-linear mo… Show more

“…Findings of previous studies on sex and age differences have been mixed. Some articles have shown that men were more sensitive to heat than women 23,24 , while other studies reported the opposite result 6 . This heterogeneity may arise from socioeconomic, cultural and health-related factors.…”

“…Large bodies of previous investigations have differentiated the potential vulnerability differences from subgroups stratified by individual characteristics when assessing temperature-related mortality impact [ 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 ]. In accordance with most epidemiologic findings, our study demonstrated more significant associations of DTR with mortality and YLL among females and the elderly.…”

“…After 2015 cause of death was no longer available due to data protection concerns. Because of the changes in diagnostic coding, the lack of cause of death data for the last 4 years, and the lack of specificity of most causes of death for temperature related mortality [14], only total daily mortality was considered, selecting all residents of any of the 23 districts of the city of Vienna.…”
