Although there is a growing interest in the association between ambient temperatures and
mortality, little evidence is available for Thessaloniki, the second largest city of Greece. In …

It is well-established that exposure to non-optimum temperatures adversely affects public
health, with the negative impact varying with latitude, as well as various climatic and …

In light of climate change, health risks are expected to be exacerbated by more frequent high
temperatures and reduced by less frequent cold extremes. To assess the impact of different …

Background There is strong evidence of mortality being associated to extreme temperatures
but the extent to which individual or residential factors modulate this temperature …

Background Evidence that elevated temperatures can lead to increased mortality is well
documented, with population vulnerability being location specific. However, very few studies …

Objectives There is a growing body of evidence linking ambient air temperature and adverse
health effects, in the form of hospitalization or even increased mortality mainly due to …

Background: Studies have examined the effects of temperature on mortality in a single city,
country, or region. However, less evidence is available on the variation in the associations …

There is a wealth of scientific literature that scrutinizes the relationship between mortality
and temperature. The aim of this paper is to identify the nexus between temperature and …

Spatial variability in temperature exists within metropolitan areas but very few studies have
investigated intra-urban differentiation in the temperature-mortality effects. We investigated …

Heat stress is a current public health concern during the warm months in many urban areas.
Climate change and increasing urbanization are expected to worsen this concern, with …
