All-cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality and wildfire-related ozone...
Chen, Gongbo; Guo, Yuming; Yue, Xu; Xu, Rongbin; Yu,Wenhua; Ye, Tingting; Tong, Shilu; Gasparrini, Antonio; Bell,Michelle L.; Armstrong, BenBackground: Wildfire activity is an important source of tropospheric ozone (O3) pollution. However, no study to date has systematically examined the associations of wildfire-related O3 exposure with mortality globally. Methods: We did a multicountry two-stage time series analysis. From the Multi-City Multi-Country (MCC) Collaborative Research Network, data on daily all-cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory dea...
Global, regional, and national burden of heatwave-related mortality from 1990 t...
Zhao, Qi; Li, Shanshan; Ye, Tingting; Wu, Yao; Gasparrini, Antonio; Tong, Shilu; Urban, Aleš; Vicedo-Cabrera, Ana Maria; Tobias, Aurelio; Armstrong, BenBackground: The regional disparity of heatwave-related mortality over a long period has not been sufficiently assessed across the globe, impeding the localisation of adaptation planning and risk management towards climate change. We quantified the global mortality burden associated with heatwaves at a spatial resolution of 0.5°×0.5° and the temporal change from 1990 to 2019. Methods and findings: We collected d...
Mortality risks associated with floods in 761 communities worldwide: time serie...
Yang, Zhengyu; Huang, Wenzhong; McKenzie, Joanne E.; Xu, Rongbin; Yu, Pei; Ye, Tingting; Wen, Bo; Gasparrini, Antonio; Armstrong, Ben; Tong, ShiluObjective: To evaluate lag-response associations and effect modifications of exposure to floods with risks of all cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality on a global scale. Design: Time series study. Setting: 761 communities in 35 countries or territories with at least one flood event during the study period. Participants: Multi-Country Multi-City Collaborative Research Network database, Australian Cau...
Global, regional, and national burden of mortality associated with non-optimal ...
Zhao, Qi; Guo, Yuming; Ye, Tingting; Gasparrini, Antonio; Tong, Shilu; Overcenco, Ala; Urban, Aleš; Schneider, Alexandra; Entezari, AlirezaBackground: 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...
Mortality risk attributable to wildfire-related PM2·5 pollution: a global time ...
Chen, Gongbo; Guo, Yuming; Yue, Xu; Tong, Shilu; Gasparrini, Antonio; Bell, Michelle L.; Armstrong, Ben; Schwartz, Joel; Jaakkola, Jouni J.K.Background: 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 ...
