Temperature-related mortality mostly affects older people and is attributable to a combination of factors. We focussed on key non-temperature factor - rising longevity aimed quantify its reciprocal relation with temperature-related risk in Spain over 1980-2018. obtained average annual temperature-attributable deaths among aged 65y+, by sex age group, for different temperature ranges (extreme cold, moderate heat, extreme heat), from previous study. Combining this population data as well life table information, we used: (i) counterfactual approach assess the contribution changes absolute mortality, (ii) decomposition variation (lifespan inequality). Rising led considerable declines females males across entire range. For it accounted about 30% decrease (half total study period). 20% fall (a quarter fall). In opposite direction, changing patterns contributed higher expectancy (accounting > rise both males) but also lifespan inequality amongst people. Most influence (about 80%) was via at heat small rises expectancy. Our points benefits adopting risk-reduction strategies that aim, not only modifying hazards reducing exposure, address socially-generated vulnerability This includes ensuring lifespans lengthen primarily through increases years lived good health.
