TLDR
Rural residents are more sensitive to both cold and hot temperatures than urban residents in Zhejiang Province, China, particularly the elderly, suggesting past studies using exposure–response functions derived from urban areas may underestimate the mortality burden for the population as a whole.Abstract:
Background: Temperature-related mortality risks have mostly been studied in urban areas, with limited evidence for urban–rural differences in the temperature impacts on health outcomes. Objectives:...read more

Beating the urban heat: Situation, background, impacts and the way forward in China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors reviewed urban heat challenges following the SBAR (situation, background, assessment and recommendation) framework and found that heatwaves become more frequent, lasting and intense, especially after 1990s.
Heat- and cold-stress effects on cardiovascular mortality and morbidity among urban and rural populations in the Czech Republic
TL;DR: The slight differences between Prague and southern Bohemia in response to heat versus cold stress suggest the possible influence of environmental and socioeconomic factors such as the effects of urban heat island and exposure to air pollution, lifestyle differences, and divergence in population structure, which may result in differing vulnerability of urban versus rural population to temperature extremes.

Observed Synergies between Urban Heat Islands and Heat Waves and Their Controlling Factors in Shanghai, China
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a comprehensive dataset including continuous surface energy flux data to investigate whether the UHI intensity (UHIII) is enhanced or dampened under heat waves (HWs).

Air pollution and cause-specific mortality: A comparative study of urban and rural areas in China
TL;DR: It is identified that rural residents are more sensitive to air pollution than urban residents in China, and this result challenges previous assumptions about the more adverse effects of urbanization on residents' health in developing countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Burden of cause-specific mortality attributable to heat and cold: A multicity time-series study in Jiangsu Province, China.
TL;DR: Both extreme heat and cold were associated with increased mortality risks from all-cause, CVD, respiratory diseases, nervous diseases, and external causes, and about 64% of this overall temperature-related mortality burden was found in 6 aforementioned specific causes and about 10% of mortality burden in external causes.

TL;DR: ERA-Interim as discussed by the authors is the latest global atmospheric reanalysis produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), which will extend back to the early part of the twentieth century.

Conducting Meta-Analyses in R with the metafor Package
TL;DR: The metafor package provides functions for conducting meta-analyses in R and includes functions for fitting the meta-analytic fixed- and random-effects models and allows for the inclusion of moderators variables (study-level covariates) in these models.

TL;DR: Most of the temperature-related mortality burden was attributable to the contribution of cold, and the effect of days of extreme temperature was substantially less than that attributable to milder but non-optimum weather.

TL;DR: This paper developed a systematic conceptual formulation of the problem of measurement error in epidemiologic studies of air pollution and then considered the consequences within this formulation, and presented new simple analyses of data on exposures of particulate matter < 10 microm in aerodynamic diameter from the Particle Total Exposure Assessment Methodology Study.
