The impact of heat waves on the mortality of Chinese population: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many studies had shown that with global warming, heat waves may increase the mortality risk of Chinese populations. However, these findings are not consistent. Therefore, we elucidated the associations by meta-analysis and quantified the magnitude of these risks, as well as the underlying factors.
