      abstract = {This book focuses on the Chinese health impact induced by  ambient temperature variation, especially the  epidemiology-based exposure-response relationship with the  mortality and morbidity from respiratory, cardiovascular  diseases, and mental health among Chinese population.A  great number of epidemiological studies have reported that  ambient temperature is closely associated with a wide range  of health outcomes, such as mortality, cardiovascular and  respiratory events, adverse birth outcome, and some  infectious diseases, such as dengue fever, malaria.  Although a number of epidemiological studies in western  countries have evaluated the adverse health effects of  ambient temperature, the exposure-response relationship  from these countries cannot simply be applied to the  Chinese population due to the large differences in  temperature profile, exposure pattern, as well as the  population vulnerability. This book will provide up-to-date  estimates of the magnitude of adverse health effects of  ambient temperature in the Chinese population. We hope to  provide readers with a comprehensive and organized body of  information in the area of Ambient Temperature and health.},
