      Zhang, Siqi; Breitner, Susanne; de' Donato, Francesca; Stafoggia, Massimo; Nikolaou, Nikolaos; Aunan, Kristin; Peters, Annette; Schneider, Alexandra (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Background High temperatures have been associated with increased mortality, with evidence reported predominately in large cities and for total cardiovascular or respiratory deaths. This case-crossover study examined ...

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Land-use and land-cover change (LULCC) can substantially affect climate through biogeochemical and biogeophysical effects. Here, we examine the future temperature–mortality impact for two contrasting LULCC scenarios in a ...
    • A systematic review on the association between total and cardiopulmonary mortality/morbidity or cardiovascular risk factors with long-term exposure to increased or decreased ambient temperature 

      Zafeiratou, Sofia; Samoli, Evangelia; Dimakopoulou, Konstantina; Rodopoulou, Sophia; Analitis, Antonis; Gasparrini, Antonio; Stafoggia, Massimo; De' Donato, Francesca; Rao-Skirbekk, Shilpa; Monteiro, Ana; Rai, Masna; Zhang, Siqi; Breitner, Susanne; Aunan, Kristin; Schneider, Alexandra; Katsouyanni, Klea (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The health effects of acute exposure to temperature extremes are established; those of long-term exposure only recently received attention. We performed a systematic review to assess the associations of long-term (>3 months) ...
