BackgroundExposure to cold or hot temperatures is associated with premature deaths. We aimed evaluate the global, regional, and national mortality burden non-optimal ambient temperatures.MethodsIn this modelling study, we collected time-series data on from 750 locations in 43 countries five meta-predictors at a grid size of 0·5° × across globe. A three-stage analysis strategy was used. First, temperature–mortality association fitted for each location by use regression. Second, multivariate...
Abstract Objective To assess short term mortality risks and excess associated with exposure to ozone in several cities worldwide. Design Two stage time series analysis. Setting 406 20 countries, overlapping periods between 1985 2015, collected from the database of Multi-City Multi-Country Collaborative Research Network. Population Deaths for all causes or external only registered each city within study period . Main outcome measures Daily total (all non-external only). Results A 45 165 171...
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Existing studies on association between temperatures and cardiovascular deaths have been limited in geographic zones generally considered associations with total rather than cause-specific deaths.We used unified data collection protocols within Multi-Country Multi-City Collaborative Network to assemble a database daily counts specific causes from 567 cities 27 countries across 5 continents overlapping periods ranging 1979 2019....
Abstract Epidemiological analyses of health risks associated with non-optimal temperature are traditionally based on ground observations from weather stations that offer limited spatial and temporal coverage. Climate reanalysis represents an alternative option provide complete spatio-temporal exposure coverage, yet to be systematically explored for their suitability in assessing temperature-related at a global scale. Here we the first comprehensive analysis over multiple regions assess most...
To investigate potential interactive effects of fine particulate matter (PM
Evidence on the potential interactive effects of heat and ambient air pollution cause-specific mortality is inconclusive limited to selected locations.We investigated cardiovascular respiratory its modification by during summer months (six consecutive hottest months) in 482 locations across 24 countries.Location-specific daily death counts exposure data (e.g., particulate matter with diameters ≤ 2.5 µm [PM2.5]) were obtained from 2000 2018. We used location-specific confounder-adjusted...
Older adults are generally amongst the most vulnerable to heat and cold. While temperature-related health impacts projected increase with global warming, influence of population aging on these trends remains unclear. Here we show that at 1.5 °C, 2 3 °C heat-related mortality in 800 locations across 50 countries/areas will by 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.5%, respectively; among which 1 5 4 deaths can be attributed aging. Despite a decrease cold-related due progressive warming alone, mostly counteract this...
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged as a significant therapy used in medical conditions with heterogeneous results. There are some important classifications to try standardize the PRP procedure. The aim of this report is describe contents studying celular and molecular components, also propose new classification for PRP. main focus on mononuclear cells, which comprise progenitor cells monocytes. In addition, there variables related application incorporated study, harvest method,...
Indoor air quality (IAQ) parameters in 73 primary classrooms Porto were examined for the purpose of assessing levels volatile organic compounds (VOCs), aldehydes, particulate matter, ventilation rates and bioaerosols within between schools, potential sources. Levels VOCs, PM2.5 , PM10 bacteria fungi, carbon dioxide (CO2 ), monoxide, temperature relative humidity measured indoors outdoors a walkthrough survey was performed concurrently. Ventilation derived from CO2 occupancy data....
Various retrospective studies have reported on the increase of mortality risk due to higher diurnal temperature range (DTR). This study projects effect DTR future across 445 communities in 20 countries and regions.DTR-related was estimated basis historical daily time-series weather factors from Jan 1, 1985, Dec 31, 2015, with data for regions, Multi-Country Multi-City Collaborative Research Network. We obtained projected series associated four climate change scenarios, using representative...
Background: The association between fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) and mortality widely differs as well within countries. Differences in PM composition can play a role modifying the effect estimates, but there is little evidence about which components have higher impacts on mortality. Methods: We applied 2-stage analysis data collected from 210 locations 16 In first stage, we estimated location-specific relative risks (RR) for associated with daily total through time series regression...
Epidemiological evidence on short-term association between ambient carbon monoxide (CO) and mortality is inconclusive limited to single cities, regions, or countries. Generalisation of results from previous studies hindered by potential publication bias different modelling approaches. We therefore assessed the exposure CO daily in a multicity, multicountry setting.We collected data air pollution, meteorology, total 337 cities 18 countries covering various periods 1979 2016. All included had...
Minimum mortality temperature (MMT) is an important indicator to assess the temperature-mortality association, indicating long-term adaptation local climate. Limited evidence about geographical variability of MMT available at a global scale.We collected data from 658 communities in 43 countries under different climates. We estimated associations derive for each community using Poisson regression with distributed lag nonlinear models. investigated variation by climatic zone mixed-effects...
