A model for estimation of temperature effects on mortality is presented in this paper. The model is able to capture jointly the typical features of every temperature-death relationship, i.e. nonlinearity and delayed effect of cold and heat over few days. Through a segmented approximation along with a spline-based distributed lag parameterization, estimates and relevant standard errors of the cold- and heat-related risks and of the heat- tolerance are provided. The model is applied to two data-sets of mortality time series in Italy.

Abstract

A model for estimation of temperature effects on mortality is presented in this paper. The model is able to capture jointly the typical features of every temperature-death relationship, i.e. nonlinearity and delayed effect of cold and heat over few days. Through a segmented approximation along with a spline-based distributed lag parameterization, estimates and relevant standard errors of the cold- and heat-related risks and of the heat- tolerance are provided. The model is applied to two data-sets of mortality time series in Italy.
