Association Between Ambient Temperature and Years of Life Lost from Stroke — 30 PLADs, China, 2013–2016

What is already known about this topic? Previous studies have mainly focused on the relationship between temperature and mortality from stroke, but analysis on the effects on years of life lost (YLL) is limited. What is added by this report? YLLs were used as the health outcome, and cold and hot wea...

Sumario:What is already known about this topic? Previous studies have mainly focused on the relationship between temperature and mortality from stroke, but analysis on the effects on years of life lost (YLL) is limited. What is added by this report? YLLs were used as the health outcome, and cold and hot weather were found to be significantly associated with an increase in YLLs from stroke and for different groups, with a stronger effect found to be associated with low temperature. What are the implications for public health practice? These findings could help identify vulnerable regions and populations that have a more serious temperature-related burden and to guide the practical and effective measures for stroke control from a YLL perspective.
