Nonlinear association between wet-bulb globe temperature and maternal hypertensive disorders burden: a global analysis from 1990 to 2021
This study quantifies a global, nonlinear relationship between WBGT and the MHD disability burden, with heterogeneous effects across development levels. The findings highlight heat exposure as a potential threat to maternal health under climate change and support targeted mitigation and adaptation-especially in low- and median-SDI settings.
