Using a global malaria mortality dataset for 105 countries between 1980 and 2010 …, we estimate that the global optimal temperature maximizing all-age malaria mortality is 20.6, lower than previously … predicted in the literature. While in the case of child mortality, a significantly lower optimum temperature of 19.3° is …

We estimate the impact of temperature extremes on mortality in Vietnam, using daily data on temperatures and monthly … data on mortality during the 2000-2018 period. We find that both cold and heat waves cause higher mortality, particularly … among older people. This effect on mortality tends to be smaller in provinces with higher rates of air-conditioning and …
