Air temperature has been the most commonly used exposure metric in assessing
relationships between thermal stress and mortality. Lack of the high-quality meteorological …

The objective of this study was to analyze and compare the effect of high temperatures on
daily mortality in the urban and rural populations in Madrid. Data were analyzed from …

Studies investigating the interconnection of health poverty and climatic variability are rare in
spatial perspectives. Given the importance of sustainable development goals 3, goal 10, and …

Considering that several meteorological variables can contribute to weather vulnerability,
the estimation of their synergetic effects on health is particularly useful. The spatial synoptic …

Weather types or weather regimes represent the dominant modes of large‐scale
atmospheric circulation patterns and have been used to understand and explain the …

Extreme ambient temperatures are well-known for their adverse impact on public health, in
the form of increased mortality and morbidity due to respiratory and cardio-vascular …

Background Environmental factors like air pollution and temperature can trigger acute
myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the link between large-scale weather patterns …

Background Climate change is projected to result in increased heat events and decreased
cold events. This will substantially impact human health, particularly when compounded with …

The spatial synoptic classification (SSC) is a holistic categorical assessment of the daily
weather conditions at specific locations; it is a useful tool for assessing weather effects on …

In this study, we use a statistical approach based on generalized additive models, linking
atmospheric circulation and the number of influenza-related hospital admissions in the …
