Effect of PM 10 and O 3 on infant mortality among residents in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area
INTRODUCTION: Consistent evidence has shown a positive association between air pollution and daily mortality among adults. Less is known about its effect on infant mortality and the modification of this association by socioeconomic status (SES). OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤10μm (PM(10)) and ozone (O(3)) on infant mortality and its modification by SES. METHODS: We evaluated the relati…
The impact of heat waves on mortality in 9 European cities
BACKGROUND: The present study aimed at developing a standardized heat wave definition to estimate and compare the impact on mortality by gender, age and death causes in Europe during summers 1990-2004 and 2003, separately, accounting for heat wave duration and intensity. METHODS: Heat waves were defined considering both maximum apparent temperature and minimum temperature and classified by intensity, duration and timing during summer. The effect …
Temperature, temperature extremes, and mortality
OBJECTIVES: The authors examined the increase in mortality associated with hot and cold temperature in different locations, the determinants of the variability in effect estimates, and its implications for adaptation. METHODS: The authors conducted a case-crossover study in 50 US cities. They used daily mortality and weather data for 6 513 330 deaths occurring during 1989-2000. Exposure was assessed using two approaches. First, the authors determ…
Extreme Temperatures and Mortality
BACKGROUND: Extremes of temperature are associated with short-term increases in daily mortality. OBJECTIVES: We set out to identify subpopulations and mortality causes with increased susceptibility to temperature extremes. METHODS: We conducted a case-only analysis using daily mortality and hourly weather data from 50 U.S. cities for the period 1989-2000, covering a total of 7,789,655 deaths. We used distributions of daily minimum and maximum tem…
