It takes the passage forward by telling us that heat stress can worsen the condition of people who are suffering from chronic diseases. Q follows P. It tells us that older people are more vulnerable. T follows Q. T and S form a mandatory pair. T tells us that a recent study has shown that climate change may actually lead to a decline in the number of heat related deaths in Australia. S follows T. It states that the study was published in The Lancet. It tells us that cold kills more people in some cities of Australia than the heat.
