A new study published in Nature Health reveals that European regions with higher levels of deprivation and inequality are significantly more vulnerable to both heat- and cold-related mortality. Researchers found that regions with higher GDP and life expectancy showed reduced vulnerability to cold but, notably, increased vulnerability to heat. For a nurse and psychologist focused on chronic disease and prevention, these findings underscore the critical role of socio-economic determinants in shaping climate-related health risks, informing targeted public health interventions to protect the most vulnerable populations.
