Association of extreme high temperature weather with non-accidental deaths among residents of Yichang city: a time-stratified case-crossover analysis by Xiaoyan MING, Yang HAN, Zhongcheng YANG, Zaoxia WANG, Shuguang XIE, Chuangang FAN

“…After controlling for relative humidity (RH), fine particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5), inhalable particulate matter ≤ 10 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), and the gender and age of the deceased, the time-stratified case-crossover analysis showed that all nine extreme high temperature events were positively correlated with increased risk of non-accidental deaths among Yichang residents, with a lag effect Except for the P92.5-2 d and P92.5-3 d events, which lasted until lag day 3, the effects of the other seven extreme high temperature events lasted until lag day 1. …”
