Sino-foreign cooperation "The Lancet" Sub-Journal: The number of people who die from abnormal weather every year is far greater than COVID-19

The study found that from 2000 to 2019, the number of deaths related to high temperatures increased in all regions, indicating that global warming caused by climate change will make future deaths worse

An international research team led by Professor Yuming Guo of Monash University, Dr.

This study, for the first time, explicitly linked higher or lower than the optimal temperature (corresponding to the lowest mortality temperature) with the annual increase in mortality, and found that 9.

These data reveal the geographic differences in the impact of non-optimal temperatures on mortality.

Importantly, from 2000 to 2019, the number of cold-related deaths decreased by 0.

The largest decline in net mortality was in Southeast Asia, while South Asia and Europe temporarily increased

Professor Guo from the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine of Monash University said that this suggests that global warming may "slightly reduce the number of temperature-related deaths, mainly due to the decrease in cold-related deaths.

Professor Guo said that previous studies focused on temperature-related mortality in a country or region

He said: "This is the first global overview study of mortality caused by non-optimal temperature conditions from 2000 to 2019 (the hottest period since the pre-industrial era)

"Importantly, we used baseline data from 43 countries on five continents.

The mortality data of this groundbreaking Monash study is significantly higher than the second largest study published in 2015.

Professor Guo said this demonstrates the “importance of obtaining data from various points around the world in order to more accurately understand the true impact of non-optimal temperatures under climate change

The study found that the number of people who died of abnormal cold and heat worldwide:

• More than half occurred in Asia, especially East Asia and South Asia

• Europe has the highest rate of deaths per 100,000 people due to heat exposure

• Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest death rate per 100,000 people from the cold

Professor Guo understands the geographic pattern of temperature-related mortality "it is of great significance for international cooperation in formulating policies and strategies for mitigation and adaptation to climate change and health protection

Annual deaths due to abnormal temperature by region:

*Africa 1.

*Asia 2.

* 835000 (Europe)

*South America 141,000

* 52000 (UK)

* 173600 (United States)

* 1.

* 74000 (India)

* 16500 (Australia)

The annual number of deaths due to low temperature by region:

*Africa 1.
18 million

*Asia 2.
4 million

* 657000 (Europe)

*South America 116,000

* 44600 (UK)

* 154800 (United States)

* 967000 (China)

* 655400 (India)

* 14200 (Australia)

The number of deaths caused by the high temperature in the region each year

* 25550 (Africa)

* 224000 (Asia)

* 178700 (Europe)

*South America 25,250

* 8000 (UK)

* 18750 (United States)

* 71300 (China)
