Hardest Hit by Heat: Study Exposes Racial Disparities in U.S. Mortality Rates

A new study examines how extreme temperatures in the United States significantly affect mortality among different racial groups and found that both cold and hot days increase mortality rates, with the latter disproportionately affecting underrepresented populations. In particular, Non-Hispanic Blacks experienced higher excess mortality on hot days compared to Whites. The findings highlight the importance of adaptation measures, especially for racial minorities, and call for urgent action and targeted policies to mitigate the health risks of extreme temperatures caused by climate change.  More
