Abstract
The study evaluates the impact of the heat waves on cause-specific mortality and the role of demographic characteristics may have increased the risk of mortality in Setif city. Studies of maximum temperatures over a period of 20 years (1990-2009) in Setif city show a clear trend towards higher mean maximal temperatures throughout the years and identify global warming of 1 to 1.1 °C. The aim of the study was to identify the heat waves that occurred in Setif city during the period 1990-2009 and describe their impact on human mortality. Results reported that the heat waves have an enormous impact on human health. The results indicate also that the effect of this weather phenomenon is most pronounced for infants and the elderly population, particularly affecting cardiovascular mortality. The findings underscore the necessity of establishing a climate-health warning system to minimize the impact of extreme heat periods on public health.
