Scope

Exposure-response relationship for short-term ambient heat exposure and morbidity.

Dimensions and boundaries relevant for the variable

  • Cause of morbidity
  • Country/other geographic area (differences in heat exposure/effects due to climate, physiological, cultural or behavioral factors)
  • Age of exposed population
