Résumé En

What this study adds: This study provides evidence of the health burden and economic losses attributable to heat and cold in Central and South American countries, covering various climates and populations. Most of the mortality burden for Central and South American countries is caused by cold compared to heat. The results showed geographical and climatic variations, indicating a significantly higher impact of nonoptimal temperatures in countries of the Southern Cone and locations with temperate climates. These findings offer direct evidence to guide policymakers in developing public health policies for mitigation and adaptation to the region's health effects and economic impacts of nonoptimal temperatures.
