Excess winter mortality is commonly assumed as a natural pattern of seasonality and very rarely as a public health issue. As a consequence only few countries have designed health policies to reduce this environmental determinant for health, and very few studies try to quantify the effect of cold on mortality or morbidity.engCold weatherPublic healthMortalityconference object10.13140/2.1.4545.8245
