Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS T5y4LR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. We observed the daily trend in mortality rates during the 2003 heat wave in 13 of France's largest cities. Mortality data were collected from July 25 to September 15 each year from 1999 through 2003. The conjunction of a maximum temperature of 35°C and a minimum temperature of 20°C was exceptional in 7 cities. An excess mortality rate was observed in the 13 towns, with disparities from+4% (Lille) to+142% (Paris). |
