Aim:
to assess the Heat (HW) and Cold Waves (CW) risks on health in the urban municipality of Getafe.
Methodology:
time series analysis between 01/01/1999-31/10/2013.
Dependent variable:
daily mortality due to natural causes - (ICD-10): A99-R99-.
Independent variables:
the maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) daily temperature. The mortality-te...
Climate change is currently regarded as the greatest global threat to human health, and its health-related consequences take different forms according to age, sex, socioeconomic level, and type of territory. The aim of this study is to ascertain the differences in vulnerability and the heat-adaptation process through the minimum mortality temperatu...
The capacity for adaptation to climate change is limited, and the elderly rank high among
the most exposed population groups. To date, few studies have addressed the issue of heat adaptation,
and little is known about the long-term effects of exposure to heat. One indicator that allows the
ascertainment of a population’s level of adaptation to heat...
In Spain the average temperature has increased by 1.7°C since pre-industrial times. There has been an increase in heat waves both in terms of frequency and intensity, with a clear impact in terms of population health. The effect of heat waves on daily mortality presents important territorial differences. Gender also affects these impacts, as a dete...
In contrast to research on heat waves, there are no studies in recent years that analyze the temporal evolution of threshold temperatures (Tthreshold) for extremely cold days (ECD). It is unknown whether threshold temperatures have increased more quickly than the minimum daily temperature (Tmin) in recent years.
The objective of this study was to a...
Abstract: EU is currently immersed in policy development to address the effects of climate change around the world. Key plans and processes for facilitating adaptation to high temperatures and for reducing the adverse effects on health are among the most urgent measures. Therefore, it is necessary to understand those factors that influence adaptati...
Background:
An area of current study concerns analysis of the possible adaptation of the population to heat, based on the temporal evolution of the minimum mortality temperature (MMT). It is important to know how is the evolution of the threshold temperatures (Tthreshold) due to these temperatures provide the basis for the activation of public heal...
The objective of this study was to analyze at the level of Spain’s 52 provinces province level the temporal evolution of Minimum Mortality Temperatures (MMT) from 1983-2018, in order to determine whether the increase in MMT would be sufficient to compensate for the increase in environmental temperatures in Spain for the period. It also aimed to ana...
El objetivo que se plantea en este trabajo es analizar diferentes factores atmosféricos como son las concentraciones de material particulado de diámetro inferior a 10 micras (PM 10), dióxido de nitrógeno (NO 2) y ozono troposférico (O 3) y la existencia o no de extremos térmicos, a través de la influencia de olas de calor y frío, inciden sobre el n...
The increase in the frequency and intensity of heat waves is one of the most unquestionable effects of climate change. Therefore, the progressive increase in maximum temperatures will have a clear incidence on the increase in mortality, especially in countries that are vulnerable due to geographical location or their socioeconomic characteristics....
El incremento de las olas de calor en frecuencia e intensidad es uno de los efectos más incuestionables del cambio climático. Una forma de detectar la evolución del impacto del calor es a través del aumento de la denominada temperatura de mínima mortalidad (TMM). El objetivo de este estudio es determinar la evolución temporal de la TMM en dos provi...
The objective of this study is to analyze the short-term effects of atmospheric pollutant concentrations (PM10, NO2 and O3) and heat and cold waves on the number of pre-term births and cases of low birth weight related to Saharan dust advection and biomass combustion. The dependent variables used in this analysis were the total number of births, bi...
