Geographical Variations of the Minimum Mortality Temperature at a Global Scale:...
Tobías, A; Hashizume, M; Honda Y; Sera, F; Ng, CFS; Kim, Y; Roye, D; Chung, Y; Dang, TN; Kim, H; Lee, W; Íñiguez, C; Vicedo-Cabrera, A; Abrutzky, RBackground: Minimum mortality temperature (MMT) is an important indicator to assess the temperature-mortality association, indicating long-term adaptation to local climate. Limited evidence about the geographical variability of the MMT is available at a global scale. Methods: We collected data from 658 communities in 43 countries under different climates. We estimated temperature-mortality associations to deriv...
Mortality risk attributable to wildfire-related PM(2·5) pollution: a global tim...
Chen, G; Guo, Y; Yue, X; Tong, S; Gasparrini, A; Bell, ML; Armstrong, B; Schwartz, J; Jaakkola, JJK; Zanobetti, A; Lavigne, E; Nascimento Saldiva, PHBackground Many regions of the world are now facing more frequent and unprecedentedly large wildfires. However, the association between wildfire-related PM2·5 and mortality has not been well characterised. We aimed to comprehensively assess the association between short-term exposure to wildfire-related PM2·5 and mortality across various regions of the world. Methods For this time series study, data on daily co...
Global, regional, and national burden of mortality associated with non-optimal ...
Zhao, Q; Guo, Y; Ye, T; Gasparrini, A; Tong, S; Overcenco, A; Urban, A; Schneider, A; Entezari, A; Vicedo-Cabrera, AM; Zanobetti, A; Analitis, ABackground: Exposure to cold or hot temperatures is associated with premature deaths. We aimed to evaluate the global, regional, and national mortality burden associated with non-optimal ambient temperatures. Methods: In this modelling study, we collected time-series data on mortality and ambient temperatures from 750 locations in 43 countries and five meta-predictors at a grid size of 0·5° × 0·5° across the gl...
Ambient carbon monoxide and daily mortality: a global time-series study in 337 ...
Chen, K; Breitner, S; Wolf, K; Stafoggia, M; Sera, F; Vicedo-Cabrera, AM; Guo, Y; Tong, S; Lavigne, E; Matus, P; Valdés, N; Kan, H; Jaakkola, JJKBackground. Epidemiological evidence on short-term association between ambient carbon monoxide (CO) and mortality is inconclusive and limited to single cities, regions, or countries. Generalisation of results from previous studies is hindered by potential publication bias and different modelling approaches. We therefore assessed the association between short-term exposure to ambient CO and daily mortality in a ...
