Table 5.

Age-specific effect estimates (odd ratios) of deaths due to suicide for exposure maximum and minimum temperature. Results are shown for same-day exposure (Lag-0) to 7 days prior exposure (Lag-7), per 1°C increase in temperature.

Lag Age <= 24

N represents number of suicide deaths. Models were adjusted for same lag day relative humidity. Wald chi-squared test was performed to test heterogeneity across 3 groups.
