The association between short-term changes in ambient temperature and daily mortality has been described widely in the literature. A few recent papers support the hypothesis that diurnal variations in temperature may also have an impact on mortality, independent of the effect of daily mean temperature. The objective of the thesis was to determine whether variations in diurnal temperature increased daily non-accidental mortality among the elderly population of Montreal, Quebec, during the 1984-2007 study period. We used distributed lag non-linear models constrained over a 30 day lag period, and adjusted for temporal trends, mean daily temperature, and mean daily concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and ozone. We found over the 30 day lag perio...
