41 An analysis examining the effect indicators of the temperature-mortality association in 107 US cities found that age, cause of death, place of death, median household income, unemployment rate, usage of air conditioning and education level were potential markers of vulnerability to temperature extremes.
Hajat et al. (2005) reported that individuals in the 0- to 14-year-old age group had greater vulnerability to temperature increases in Delhi than did those in the 15- to 64-year-old age group or in the ≥ 65-year-old age group.
Data about a problem/phenomenon: e.g. statistics and trends showing declining vulnerability to temperature-related mortality in London over the 20th century [ 36].
In this large multicommunity study, we provided unique evidence on individual-specific and community-specific indicators that were related to the vulnerability to temperature-related mortality risk in China.
Their fundamental role in PUR physical properties has been stressed; however, their liability to natural ageing has been poorly focused, with few studies suggesting their vulnerability to high temperature and humidity.
Identification of factors that increase vulnerability to hot temperature in human populations has become a growing public health concern [ 4, 5].
We have developed a measure of population vulnerability to high temperatures in Tibet.
In this study we describe steps in floral development of cultivated strawberry and define their vulnerability to chilling temperatures.
Other epidemiological studies have shown an increased vulnerability to elevated temperatures among those with respiratory diseases [ 11, 14, 17], diabetes [ 9, 13, 17], and psychiatric disorders [ 10, 11, 14, 18, 19].
Finally, although this study focused on heat, changing vulnerability to cold temperatures could be investigated using similar methods because climate change may also mitigate cold-related mortality (Watkiss et al. 2009).
Air pollution may increase human vulnerability to the effects of temperature, and temperature extremes, in turn, influence population vulnerability to air pollution (Burkart et al. 2013; Ren et al. 2006).
