Heat Waves and Cold Spells and their Effect on Mortality: an Analysis of Micro-data for the Netherlands in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries

Abstract: Résumé Le changement à long terme des relations entre les variations temporelles de la mortalité et celles des températures offre une excellente occasion d’approfondir notre connaissance des conséquences du changement climatique global pour la santé publique. La connaissance de ces changements a en même temps une très grande importance pour les historiens parce qu’elle fournit des informations pertinentes sur l’évolution du degré de vulnérabilité de la population face aux chocs externes tels que les vagues de … Show more

“…The regression run gave an R 2 of 53.6% showing a satisfactory performance for this type of models, given that the mortality rates are affected by several other parameters that are not included in this model (e.g., nutrition, environmental quality, effectiveness of the health system, etc.) (e.g., [11]. The adopted model confirms that mortality is correlated positively with HDD and CDD, implying that mortality rates increase with high and low temperatures, as well as with t, suggesting a slight long-term increase in the number of deaths in the country (probably because of population growth as well as the aging of the population).…”

“…Daily temperature data from five locations (De Bilt/Utrecht 3 , Den Helder, Groningen, Maastricht, and Vlissingen) is also available for the study period from the same source. We have adjusted these values for the within-day time of measurement using the method developed by Ekamper et al (2009; 2010). We aggregate adjusted values of average daily temperature to produce three annual measures: the mean annual temperature (°C), the number of days with an average temperature greater than 20 °C, and the number of days with an average temperature less than 0 °C.…”

“…For example, comparative research challenges claims that non-Western populations were more subject to exogenous pressure and presents a picture of complex demographic responses to short-term economic stress driven, in part, by human agency (Bengtsson, Campbell & Lee 2004; Tsuya et al 2010). In the Netherlands, it has been demonstrated that among the very young and the elderly, short-term climate shocks, specifically hot or cold spells, resulted in increases in mortality (Ekamper et al 2009, 2010). Mortality risks are elevated during hot spells through direct exposure to heat (hyperthermia) and indirect effects, such as the spread of infectious disease through contaminated water.…”

“…Apesar do uso comum das designações de onda de calor e vaga de frio, e das variadas propostas de definições 'universais' (Tabela VI), a realidade é que não existe uma definição única do que é uma onda de calor e uma vaga de frio (Poljansěk et al, 2017). 32 De facto, os efeitos do calor ou do frio não dependem só da temperatura em si, mas também das condições em que o aumento ou diminuição da temperatura ocorreram e também de outras condições climáticas (Ekamper et al, 2010).…”

“…Ou seja, tanto no caso de ondas de calor como de ondas de frio, o período temporal em que os seus efeitos se desenvolvem depende da patologia específica, podendo nuns casos ser imediato (p.e. os efeitos do calor nos enfartes agudos do miocárdio), ou dilatar-se por períodos de tempo mais longos (Ekamper et al, 2010). Refira-se a título de exemplo que Monteiro et al…”
