Studies Examine Health Risks of Extreme Heat and Cold Amid Climate Change
Two studies examine the health impacts of extreme temperatures. A Pune-based study will track 150 volunteers across 22 villages for a year to assess how heat affects physical and mental health, using a platform developed by the Heidelberg Institute. Separately, research published in Nature Communications highlights that individuals with chronic illnesses and socioeconomic vulnerabilities face over ten times higher mortality risk during extreme heat and cold. Both emphasize the growing public health challenges posed by climate change.
