Projections of excess mortality related to diurnal temperature range under climate change scenarios: a multi-country modelling study

Summary: Background: Various retrospective studies have reported on the increase of mortality risk due to higher diurnal temperature range (DTR). This study projects the effect of DTR on future mortality across 445 communities in 20 countries and regions. Methods: DTR-related mortality risk was est...
