Table 1.
Heat-related, cold-related, and net excess morbidity in diarrhea (%) with 95% empirical Confidence Interval (eCI) by period under four climate change scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6.0, and RCP8.5) in Japan. Heat-related and cold-related morbidity were estimated using a two-stage time-series regression model with quasi-Poisson family (Gasparrini et al. 2017). Estimates are presented as GCM-ensemble average decadal fractions.
