Community-level risk factors for temperature-related mortality in France.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vulnerability to nonoptimal temperatures varies from one geographical location to another, but the contextual factors accounting for these spatial differences are still poorly understood. We aimed to identify the community-level characteristics contributing to geographical disparities in heat-related and cold-related mortality risk in France.

Methods

We conducted a country-wide analysis using data on all-cause mortality, temperature, and contextual characteristics across 1,967 pseudo-cantons in France between 2004 and 2019. We first estimated the daily temperature-mortality association in each pseudo-canton using a time-series quasi-Poisson regression in combination with distributed lag nonlinear models, and then we fitted univariable and multivariable multivariat
