Summary

Extreme weather conditions affect human health. This study analyses the association of high and low temperature with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases on people over 65 years old for the years 2007 to 2015, in the region of Chania, Greece. The mortality is examined by time series analysis and further investigated by Poisson, and Negative Binomial regression, showing that one-lag in maximum temperature strongly affects the health of the elderly. Finally, cluster analysis is used from May to October, which is confirmed by discriminant analysis.
