National mortality burden attributable to the unprecedented heatwave in 2022 in China
This study indicated that the frequency and intensity of heatwaves significantly increased in the past 2 decades in China, and the 2022 heatwaves were linked to a substantial mortality burden in China, with significant population and regional heterogeneity. Our findings underscore the need for developing comprehensive heat adaptation plans in the context of rapid aging and ongoing global warming.
