Nonlinear exposure-response associations of daytime, nighttime, and day-night compound heatwaves with mortality amid climate change

The authors use data from 28 East Asian cities to explore the shape of curves for associations between heatwaves and mortality. Compound heatwaves showed nearly linear mortality risks, while daytime and nighttime heatwaves displayed nonlinear risks.

The overlooked health impacts of extreme rainfall exposure in 30 East Asian cities

Extreme rainfall events, amplified by climate change, can stress public health, but efforts to assess health impacts have been fragmented so far. A study now analyses the relation between extreme rainfall and mortality from respiratory diseases across urban environments in East Asia.

Impact of population aging on future temperature-related mortality at different global warming levels

This study reveals that population aging intensifies heat- and cold-related deaths, more so than climate change, in 50 countries. At 1.53 °C global warming, aging contributes to rising heat-related deaths, offsetting declines in cold related death.

A cross-sectional analysis of meteorological factors and SARS-CoV-2 transmission in 409 cities across 26 countries

Possible effects of weather conditions on COVID-19 transmission are debated. Here, the authors analyse data from early in the pandemic and show that although temperature and humidity had small effects on transmission, they were far out-weighed by the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions.
