Discussion

Time-series study highlights temperature's role in modifying ozone's effects on mortality in Hefei, China.

Ozone exposure is linked to increased mortality, especially under lower temperature conditions, affecting various health outcomes.
Compared to moderate temperatures, low temperatures significantly elevated risks for non-accidental mortality and cerebrovascular diseases, with specific P-values of 0.04 and 0.01.
Using generalized additive models, the study analyzed ozone exposure's effects on mortality from 2014 to 2022, emphasizing the importance of temperature interactions.
Age, sex, and education factors revealed higher vulnerability among older adults, females, and less educated individuals, indicating targeted health interventions are needed.

Mao et al. (2025) studied this question.
