The reciprocal relation between rising longevity and temperature-related mortality risk in older people, Spain 1980–2018 Open
Temperature-related mortality mostly affects older people and is attributable to a combination of factors. We focussed on a key non-temperature factor - rising longevity - and aimed to quantify its reciprocal relation with temperature-rela…

Avoiding overestimates of climate risks from population ageing Open
Population ageing is expected to lead to significant rises in climate risks because vulnerability rises sharply throughout people’s later years. When assessing the vulnerability of older people, however, what’s important isn’t the number o…
