  Author(s): Janice Clark*
  
  Objective: In China, there is a lack of evidence regarding the effects of extreme temperatures on cause-specific cardiovascular mortality. Methods: Between 2007 and 2009, we gathered information from Beijing and Shanghai, China, including daily mortality rates for cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, ischemic, and hypertensive diseases, air pollution levels, and weather conditions. To investigate the effects of extremely high and low ambient temperatures on cause-specific cardiovascular mortality, we employed a distributed lag non-linear Poisson regression model. Results: Beijing had stronger effects of cold and heat for all cause-specific cardiovascular mortality than Shanghai. The strongest cold effects on cause-specific cardiovascular mortality occurred between lags 0 and 27, while the strongest hot effects occurred between l.. View More»
