Temporal variation in associations between temperature and years of life lost in a southern China city with typical subtropical climate

Abstract Though some studies have explored the association between temperature and years of life lost (YLL), limited evidence is available regarding the effect of temporal variation on the temperature-YLL relationship, especially in developing countries. We explored temporal variation in the associa...
