  • "Global, regional, and national burden of mortality associated with non-optimal ambient temperatures from 2000 to 2019: a three-stage modelling study" (2021, The Lancet Planetary Health)
  • "Excess mortality attributed to heat and cold: a health impact assessment study in 854 cities in Europe" (2023, The Lancet Planetary Health)
  • "Excess mortality during the COVID-19 outbreak in Italy: a two-stage interrupted time-series analysis" (2020, International Journal of Epidemiology)
  • "Temporal dynamics in total excess mortality and COVID-19 deaths in Italian cities" (2020, BMC Public Health)

Paola Michelozzi frequently collaborates with a core group of co-authors, including Massimo Stafoggia, Marina Davoli, Francesca de'Donato, Matteo Renzi, and Antonio Gasparrini.

Their work is often published in well-recognized venues such as PubMed, ISEE Conference Abstracts, The Lancet Planetary Health, Environment International, and Environmental Research.

The main topics covered in their research encompass:

  • Climate Change and Health Impacts
  • Air Quality and Health Impacts
  • Global Health Care Issues
  • Health disparities and outcomes
  • COVID-19 and healthcare impacts
  • Thermoregulation and physiological responses
  • Noise Effects and Management

Paola Michelozzi's work involves examining the health effects of environmental factors, including temperature variations, air quality, and other climate-related determinants. Their contributions provide data and analyses on mortality burdens linked to non-optimal ambient temperatures and the health impacts of heat and cold on populations across diverse regions.

The scientist's research also extends into investigations on the dynamics of excess mortality during health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, offering insight into the temporal patterns of mortality excesses in urban areas.
