Zusammenfassung:Extreme heat in the US is increasing due to climate change, while extreme cold is projected to decline. Understanding how extreme temperature along with demographic changes will affect population health is important for devising policies to mitigate the health outcome of climate change. To assess the burden of extreme temperature-related deaths in the contiguous US currently (2008-2019) and estimate the burden in the mid-21st century (2036-2065). This cross-sectional study used historical (1979-2000) daily mean temperatures to calculate monthly extreme heat (>97.5th percentile value) and extreme cold days (
