Composition of deaths and DALYs attributable to high and low temperatures in 2019 by level 2 GBD causes

The x-axis scales vary by location. High and low temperatures are defined as the temperatures above (heat) and below (cold) the location and year-specific theoretical minimum risk exposure level. Cardiovascular diseases were ischaemic heart disease, stroke, hypertensive heart disease, and cardiomyopathy and myocarditis. Chronic respiratory diseases was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Self-harm and interpersonal violence were homicide and suicide. Transport injuries were road injuries and other transport-related injuries.
