Nonlinear exposure-response associations of daytime, nighttime, and day-night compound heatwaves with mortality amid climate change by Jiangdong Liu, Ho Kim, Masahiro Hashizume, Whanhee Lee, Yasushi Honda, Satbyul Estella Kim, Cheng He, Haidong Kan, Renjie Chen

“…Associations of heatwaves with cardiovascular mortality mirrored those with non-accidental mortality but were more pronounced at higher CEHWI levels, while significant associations with respiratory mortality emerged at low-to-moderate CEHWI levels. These results highlight the necessity of considering the nonlinear health responses to heatwaves of different types in disease burden assessments and heatwave-health warning systems amid climate change.…”
