Deaths from cold in Spain
A recent study led by researchers from the EARLY-ADAPT group and INSERM indicates in what Spanish provinces the cold poses the greatest risk to health.
Air Conditioning Has Reduced Mortality Due to High Temperatures in Spain by One Third
Air Conditioning Has Reduced Mortality Due to High Temperatures in Spain by One Third. Similarly, heating has reduced by up to half the deaths related to extreme cold, although this effect may be attenuated by an ageing population, according to a study spanning four decades and 48 provinces in Spain.
High Temperatures May Have Caused Over 70,000 Excess Deaths in Europe in 2022
New study by EARLY-ADAPT researchers develops theoretical framework to re-evaluate initial estimates of mortality attributable to record summer temperatures in 2022.
Risk of Dying in Hospital From Respiratory Causes is Higher in the Summer Than in the Winter
A study developed by EARLY-ADAPT researchers analyses the association between ambient temperature and hospital mortality from respiratory diseases in the provinces of Madrid and Barcelona.
