Article Synopsis
- - This study focuses on the impact of drought on health in northern Bangladesh, specifically examining how drought duration and severity influence mortality rates from various causes.
- - Data from meteorological stations and a large population survey spanning a decade were analyzed, with findings indicating that only severe and extreme droughts led to increased short-term mortality, while long-term drought effects were minimal in most areas.
- - The results highlighted regional differences in health impacts from drought, suggesting that policymakers need to consider these variations for effective intervention, and future research is essential for mitigating health risks associated with droughts.
An increase in the global surface temperature and changes in urban morphologies are associated with increased heat stress especially in urban areas. This can be one of the contributing factors underlying an increase in heat strokes. We examined the impact of summer minimum air temperatures, which often represent nighttime temperatures, as well as a maximum temperature on a heat stroke.
