The purpose of this work is to analyse how the health risks linked to extreme heat events are modified by gender and socioeconomical or demographic factors. The risks of Heat Waves (HW) and Cold Spells (CS) were calculated using the Poisson regression at city and district level. The dependant variables were the data for mortality and urgent hospital admissions due to natural (CIE X: A00-R99), circulatory (CIE X: I00-I99), and respiratory causes (CIE X: J00-J99) from INE and Madrid Salud. AEMET provided daily minimum (Tmin) and maximum (Tmax) temperature data as well as relative humidity data. HWs and CSs - the independent variables - were calculated as the temperature threshold above which mortality rates increases dramatically. The models ...
