Our study demonstrated harmful associations between heat and cold waves among a high-risk population of veterans with COPD using individual level health data. Future research should emphasize using individual level data to better estimate the associations between extreme weather events and health outcomes for high-risk populations with chronic medical conditions. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP13176.
