Fluctuations in daily temperatures were linked to significant increases in heat-related mortality risk, according to study findings published in The Innovation.
Researchers said it is the first study to their knowledge that evaluated the impact of temperature fluctuations on heat-related mortality.
“Assessing heat-mortality association without consideration of temperature variability may fail to recognize the most severe weather in relation to heat and implement effective early warning systems,” Yuming Guo, MD, PhD, a professor of global environmental health and biostatistics and
