Boxes with dashed borders contain brief guidance text for completing the entries for new variables.

Scope

This includes a verbal definition of the spatial, temporal, and other limits
(system boundaries) of the variable. The scope is defined according to the use
purpose of the assessment(s) that the variable belongs to.

Exposure-response relationship for short-term 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

The variables can be listed used descriptive (free-format) names or unambiguous identifiers
(e.g. Analytica IDs).

Unit

Unit in which the result is expressed.

Formula

Algebra or other explicit methods if possible
(e.g. Analytica code between the ''<anacode></anacode>'' delimiters).

Result

If possible, a numerical expression or distribution.
