During summer, there is a marked decrease in the number of deaths, in the US, and throughout the world. Compared to summer, the number of "excess" deaths in winter (January-March, December) totaled 108,500 persons. Cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are exacerbated by the cold. However, this trend is also present in countries without cold winters. Suicide rates peak from March-May.
