Heat related mortality in warm and cold regions of Europe : observational study.
Material type:
TextDescription: 4 pSubject: People in cold regions of Europe take more effective measures against a standard degree of col than people in warm regions, and in the cold regions mortality rises less steeply as temperature falls. Reports of heat related mortality suggest that heat waves of a given intensity increase mortality less in subtropical or warm regions than in cooler ones. If this finding is not due to differences in factors such as age structure, wind, humidity, or methods of analysis, it suggests that population adjustments to heat will substantially mitigate the impact of impending global warning on summer mortality.
