Boxes with dashed borders contain brief guidance text for completing the entries for new variables.

Scope

This variable provides the # of people dying from cardiopulmonary disease attributable to PM2,5 in the Helsinki metropolitan area for 2013, 2020 and 2030

  • Temporal scope: 2013, 2020 and 2030
  • Spatial scope: Helsinki metropolitan area
  • PM2,5 exposure scope: Defined in variable 'PM2,5 exposure-response function' D↷
  • Health scope: ICD codes of cardiopulmonary mortality. The health definition is described in variable 'PM2,5 exposure-response function' D↷
  • Population scope: Defined in variable 'population in Helsinki metropolitan area' D↷

Definition

Data

Baseline forecast for [health endpoint] mortality in 2013 in Helsinki Metropolitan Area 

Baseline forecast for [health endpoint] mortality in 2020 in Helsinki Metropolitan Area

Baseline forecast for [health endpoint] mortality in 2030 in Helsinki Metropolitan Area

  • Assumption: the baseline for 2013, 2020, 2030 will be kept constant in relative terms compared with the present proportion of [health endpoint] mortality to baseline mortality
  • Data source Finnish baseline data in WHO database
    • Assumption: the baseline data for the population in Helsinki Metropolitan Area is proportional to the population in this area
