Projects on "Weather and climate effects on mortality and cardiovascular morbidity":
Mortality, myocardial infarction and air temperature in Bavaria
The study aims at assessing the impact of air temperature on daily cause-specific mortality and morbidity in Bavaria between 1990 and 2006. A second aim is to identify subpopulations with increased susceptibility to air temperature effects, which might have special needs for public health actions in Bavaria in times of ongoing climate change.
