New article by #EHMLab at #LSHTM on confounding in #airpollution #epidemiology, with a case study using the #UKBiobank.
Key result: importance to control for residual spatial confounding and lifestyle factors.
Focus on #reproducibility, with #R code & synthetic data.

📈Climate change-driven summer heat led to an additional 16,500 deaths in 854 European cities, a new study led by the Grantham Institute and the @lshtm.bsky.social estimates 🧵

Watch Dr @clairbarnes.bsky.social from @ic-cep.bsky.social & @gkonstantinoudis.bsky.social explain the findings.

UK heatwave ‘likely to kill almost 600 people in England & Wales'

In @theguardian.com @gasparrini.bsky.social‬ & Malcolm Mistry discuss rapid analysis of UK #heatwave & how even a rise of a few degrees, due to #ClimateChange, can be dangerous.

New #MCC finds boosting urban greenness by 30% could lower temperatures by 0.19°C and cut heat-related mortality by ~1% globally. South Europe sees the biggest benefits. A climate adaptation win?

A recent #EHMLab modelling study with @pmasselot.bsky.social @gasparrini.bsky.social found that climate change could lead to ~2.3 million additional temperature-related deaths in Europe by 2099, substantially outweighing the loss in cold deaths
