Background—Associations between ambient temperature and cardiovascular morbidity have been well studied worldwide; however, few studies determined the cardiovascular disease burden attributable to temperature. We aimed to assess the risk attributed to temperature based on the exposure–lag–response relationship between temperature and circulatory diseases. Methods and Results—We collected daily time series data of emergency hospital admissions, mean temperature, and air pollution concentrations…

Cause-specific mortality attributable to cold and hot ambient temperatures in Hong Kong: a time-series study, 2006–2016
Impact of ambient temperature on hospital admissions for cardiovascular disease in Hefei City, China
TLDR
It was found that the cold effect and heat effect of temperature can impact CVD hospital admissions and the high temperature’s impact was found to be more obvious in female and the ≥’65-year group compared to male and the < 65- year group; however, the <'65-Year group and men are more sensitive to low temperature.
Morbidity burden of respiratory diseases attributable to ambient temperature: a case study in a subtropical city in China
TLDR
It is found that exposure to non-optimal temperatures increased the risk of respiratory morbidity in subtropical region, and moderate heat contributed to most of the temperature-related respiratory morbidities.
Comparative assessments of mortality from and morbidity of circulatory diseases in association with extreme temperatures.
The impact of ambient temperature on acute myocardial infarction admissions in Tehran, Iran.
Increased coronary heart disease and stroke hospitalisations from ambient temperatures in Ontario
TLDR
Ambient temperatures, especially in moderate ranges, may be an important risk factor for cardiovascular-related hospitalisations, and moderate temperatures yielded the most of the cardiovascular burdens from temperatures.
Short - term effects of temperature on hospital admissions for acute myocardial infarction: A comparison between two neighboring climate zones in Vietnam.
Seasonal temperature variability and emergency hospital admissions for respiratory diseases: a population-based cohort study
TLDR
Wintertime temperature variability was associated with higher risk of incident respiratory diseases in a prospective Chinese elderly cohort of 66 820 older people with 10–13 years of follow-up.
Short-term association between ambient temperature and acute myocardial infarction hospitalizations for diabetes mellitus patients: A time series study
TLDR
DM patients had a higher increased risk of AMI admissions than non-DM patients during extreme temperatures, with a stronger effect in low temperatures, while AMI risk among non- DM patients only increased mildly in low temperature.

Both low and high temperature may increase the risk of stroke mortality
TLDR
This study showed that both cold and hot temperatures were associated with increased risk of stroke mortality in China, and may have important implications for stroke prevention in China.
Mortality risk attributable to high and low ambient temperature: a multicountry observational study
Heat-Attributable Deaths between 1992 and 2009 in Seoul, South Korea
TLDR
The most heat-sensitive diseases (those with the highest RRs) were not the diseases that caused the largest number of deaths attributable to high temperatures, and prevention-related policies must account for both particular vulnerabilities and the major causes of the heat mortality burden.
The effect of temperature on cardiovascular disease hospital admissions among elderly people in Thai Nguyen Province, Vietnam
TLDR
Exposure to cold temperature is associated with increasing CVD admission risk among the elderly population and no significant association was found between CVD admissions and the other weather variables.
The effect of temperature on cardiovascular disease hospital admissions among elderly people in Thai Nguyen Province, Vietnam.
TLDR
Exposure to cold temperature is associated with increasing CVD admission risk among the elderly population and no significant association was found between CVD admissions and the other weather variables.
Hospital Admissions for Heart Disease: The Effects of Temperature and Humidity
TLDR
It is found that hospital admissions for all heart disease increased monotonically with average temperature on the same day as and the day before admission, and much of the effect of hot temperatures is short-term displacement of events.
Effects of temperature on mortality in Hong Kong: a time series analysis
TLDR
In Hong Kong, extreme cold and hot temperatures increased the risk of mortality, and people older than 75 years were the most vulnerable group to cold temperature, while people aged 65–74 were the busiest group to hot temperature.
Relation between elevated ambient temperature and mortality: a review of the epidemiologic evidence.
TLDR
This review carried out this review to assess the current epidemiologic evidence available for this purpose and concluded that as the US population becomes more urbanized and the number of elderly people continues to increase, the threat of heat-related mortality will probably become more severe.
Weather-Related Mortality: How Heat, Cold, and Heat Waves Affect Mortality in the United States
TLDR
Acclimatization, individual susceptibility, and community characteristics all affect heat-related effects on mortality, and larger spatial heterogeneity for absolute temperature estimates than for relative temperature estimates provides evidence for acclimatizations.

TLDR
Adverse health effects are evident at current ambient concentrations of air pollutants in Hong Kong, and further reduction in air pollution is necessary to protect the health of the community.
