Data

PHEWE-project [1]

Meta-analytical percent changes in daily mortality by age-group with 1oC increase in daily maximum apparent temperature above the city-specific threshold temperature in European cities in April-September

Mediterranean pooled estimate North-continental pooled estimate
Heat threshold 29.4 (25.7-32.4) 23.3 (22.5-24.0)
Age Natural mortality
15-64 0.92 (-1.92, 3.13) 1.31 (-0.94. 3.72)
65-74 2.13 (-0.42, 4.74) 1.65 (-0.5, 3.87)
75+ 4.22 (1.33, 7.20) 2.07 (0.24, 3.89)
All ages 3.12 (0.60, 5.72) 1.84 (0.06, 3.64)
Age Cardiovascular mortality
15-64 0.57 (-2.47 to 3.83) 1.04 (-2.20 to 4.92)
65-74 1.92 (-1.49 to 5.35) 1.50 (1.12 to 4.62)
75+ 4.66 (1.13 to 8.18) 2.55 (0.24 to 5.51)
All ages 3.70 (0.36 to 7.04) 2.44 (0.09 to 5.32)
Age Respiratory mortality
15-64 1.54 (-3.68 to 7.22) 3.02 (-1.55 to 7.42)
65-74 3.37 (-1.46 to 8.22) 3.90 (-0.16 to 8.92)
75+ 8.10 (3.24 to 13.37) 6.62 (3.04 to 11.42))
All ages 6.71 (2.43 to 11.26) 6.10 (2.46 to 11.08)
  • Meta-analytical estimates are based on studies in the following cities:
    • Mediterranean cities: Athens, Rome, Barcelona, Valencia, Turin, Milan, Lubljana
    • North-continental cities: Prague, Budapest, Zurich, Paris, Helsinki, Stockholm, London, Dublin
  • Based on climate and mortality data for the period 1990-2000
  • Exposure assessment: daily maximum apparent outdoor air temperature (nearest airport weather station of each city)
