[Abstract]

　Studies on health effects and risk evaluation by global warming intend to develop health indices using database and its application. To localize the population at risk using climate information, and to demonstrate the dependence of the mortality rate on ambient temperature pushed the studies to analyse the factors of excess deaths. On the other hand, studies of the relationships between heat exposure and individual behavior in daily life , and that between ambient temperature in tropical highland and infantile mortaliy rate showed diverse mechanisms of heat effects. The datab ase on health indices is under study and its application for risk evaluation was discussed in each chapter.
