Temperature-related hospitalization burden under climate change.

ABSTRACT: Climate change has markedly increased adverse effects on human health and economic growth^1-3. However, few studies have differentiated the impacts of extreme temperatures at the city level and analysed the future implications for human health under various climate change scenarios^4-6. Here we leverage data on historical relationships among six kinds of climate-sensitive diseases (CSDs) and associated hospitalizations and temperatures across 301 cities (more than 90% of all cities) and more than 7,000 hospitals in China, and use a nonlinear distributed lag model. This study projects hospitalization risks associated with extreme temperatures through to the year 2100 and develops the hospitalization burden economic index to assess the burden under three carbon emission s
