First such one global, regional, and national burden of mortality associated with non-optimal ambient temperatures study was published and its results are significant for new health care strategies.<\/p>\n
Studies report that average daily ambient temperature increased at a rate of 0.26 \u00b0 C globally (SD 0.44) between 2000 and 2019. Another important data is mortality across these dimensions. 5083<\/p>\n
173 deaths were associated with non-optimal temperatures per year, accounting for 9\u00b743% of all deaths and equating to 74 excess deaths per 100000 residents. Europe was the only continent where both cold-related and heat-related excess death rates were higher than the global average. More than half the excess deaths occurred in Asia, and especially in low-lying and crowded coastal\u00a0 cities\u00a0 in\u00a0 Eastern\u00a0 and\u00a0 Southern\u00a0 Asia. The\u00a0 number\u00a0 of\u00a0 excess\u00a0 deaths\u00a0 is\u00a0 largely\u00a0 associated\u00a0 with\u00a0 population\u00a0 size.<\/p>\n
The health threat of non-optimal temperatures is a global issue, requiring international collaboration to develop tailored health protective strategies for each region. This article can be another starting point for action to raise public awareness of temperature as a health risk.<\/p>\n
Older adults suffer disproportionately due to heat wave because of their vulnerability. This is why Europe is one of the geographic space most hit by the consequence of extreme climate events, showing on of the world oldest population.<\/p>\n
