Projections of Extreme Temperature–Related Deaths in the US
This cross-sectional study found that extreme temperature-related deaths in the contiguous US were projected to increase substantially by mid-21st century, with certain populations, such as non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic adults, projected to disproportionately experience this increase. The results point to the need to mitigate the adverse outcome of extreme temperatures for population health.
