Experts presented a new way to quantify mortality attributable to heat exposure at a recent press conference.
PARIS, France —"Heat waves are extreme climate events which have a huge impact in all age ranges of a population," said Sébastien Denys, health, environment, and work director at Public Health France, during a press conference on the impact of hot weather during the summer months on the mortality rate in mainland France.
To accurately quantify the part of the mortality rate attributable to heat exposure during the summer, Public Health France developed an original method that allows the mortality rate to be estimated regionally — excluding France's overseas departments and regions — for all age groups and for people age 75 years and above, separately.
Generally, between 1000 and 7000 deaths are caused by heat each year, depending on the weather outlook for that year. The year with the greatest impact was 2022, when there were close to 7000 deaths .
