In adults aged 60 and above, all-cause mortality rates are the highest in the dry and cold season, due to peaks in cardiovascular diseases, with little change over time. Considering children aged 1 to 5, seasonality of mortality associated with these two broad causes of death (the group of diarrhea, lower respiratory, and other common infectious diseases, and the group of nutritional deficiencies) also exhibit this pattern but with a larger amplitude. In infants, the seasonality of deaths is dominated by the association between hot temperatures and rainfall, and two groups of causes: (1) diarrhea, lower respiratory, and other common infectious diseases, and (2) nutritional deficiencies.	./cache/cord-298201-z68j0c63.txt	./txt/cord-298201-z68j0c63.txt
