Scope
Exposure-response relationship for short-term ambient heat exposure and mortality.
Dimensions and boundaries relevant for the variable
- Cause of death
- Country/other geographic area (differences in heat exposure/effects due to climate, physiological, cultural or behavioral factors)
- Age of exposed population
Definition
Data
PHEWE-project [1]
Meta-analytical percent changes in mortality by age-group with 1oC increase in maximum apparent temperature above the city-specific threshold temperature in European cities

| 75+ | 8.10 | 3.24, 13.37 | 6.62 | 3.04, 11.42 |
- Meta-analytical estimates are based studies in the following cities:
- Mediterranean cities: Athens, Rome, Barcelona, Valencia, Turin, Milan, Lubljana
- North-continental cities: Prague, Budapest, Zurich, Paris, Helsinki, Stockholm, London, Dublin
- Based on climate and mortality data for the period 1990-2000
- Exposure assessment: daily maximum apparent outdoor air temperature (nearest airport weather station of each city)
