Global, regional, and national burden of mortality associated with non-optimal ambient temperatures from 2000 to 2019: a three-stage modelling study

🤖 Plain-English Summary

BACKGROUND: Exposure to cold or hot temperatures is associated with premature deaths. Our findings will benefit international, national, and local communities in developing preparedness and prevention strategies to reduce weather-related impacts immediately and under climate change scenarios.

🔑 Key Findings

• 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 globe.
• A three-stage analysis strategy was used.
