Question

Define mortality and why doesn't it change with temperature

Answer 1

Explanation:

Mortality rate, or death rate, is a measure of the number of deaths in a particular population, scaled to the size of that population, per unit of time.

1. Temperature extremes are a threat to human health and are associated with increased mortality risk.
2. The temperature-mortality relationship has been variously described as having U, V or J shapes, with increased mortality at cold and hot temperatures.
