    Tsoutsoubi, Lydia ; Ioannou, Leonidas G. ; Flouris, Andreas D.
    Ambient temperature can affect the survival rate of humans. Studies have shown a relationshipbetween ambient temperature and mortality rate in hot and cold environments. This effect of ... ambienttemperature on mortality seems to be more pronounced in older people. The aim of this study is toexamine the effects of thermal stress on cardiovascular mortality and the associated relative risk perdegree Celsius in Greek individuals >/= 70years old. Mortality data 1999–2012 were matched with themidday temperature. The present study found a higher circulatory mortality when ambient tempera-ture is below or above the temperature range 6 to 39 degrees C.
