Abstract: As a worldwide environmental risk factor, ambient temperature can increase the mortality and morbidity of affected population, and cause economic losses. It is crucial to estimate temperature-related burden of disease(BD)to support the planning and implement of relevant policies to protect public health and adapt to climate change. This review summarized the evidence on temperature-related BD in the current research, systematically identified advantages and limitations of methodologies to measure the different indicators of temperature-related BD, and provided recommendations for studies assessing and estimating temperature-related BD.

Key words: Temperature, Burden of disease, Excess mortality, Disability adjusted life year, Economic loss
