英文摘要	Health indicators, for both mortality and morbidity, have been frequently associated with extreme hot temperatures. Many studies have found the existence of a minimum temperature of mortality, named comfort temperature. Another temperature from which a sudden increase in mortality is produced, named trigger temperature, has also been described. Both may vary according to geographical location and according to socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the population. The most common definition for a heat wave is given by exceeding the trigger, or threshold, for maximum and/or minimum temperatures. Future scenarios of climate change state that heat waves will become more intense and frequent. Due to this, the implementation of prevention plans to reduce the health effects of heat waves are indispensable in public health policy. © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014.
