Figure 3.

Figure 3A is a set of six maps of Japan. On the top-left, the map depicts the cold-related relative risk of all-cause mortality. At the center, the map depicts the cold-related relative risk of circulatory mortality. On the top-right, the map depicts the cold-related relative risk of respiratory mortality. At the bottom-left, the map depicts the cold-related relative risk of all-cause emergency ambulance dispatches. At the center, the map depicts the cold-related relative risk of circulatory emergency ambulance dispatches. At the bottom-right, the map depicts the cold-related relative risk of respiratory emergency ambulance dispatches. The spatial variations range is divided into five parts: 1.81 to 2.54, 1.65 to 1.81, 1.42 to 1.65, 1.25 to 1.42, and 1.00 to 1.25. Figure 3B is a set of six maps of Japan. On the top-left, the map depicts the heat-related relative risk of all-cause mortality. At the center, the map depicts the heat-related relative risk of circulatory mortality. On the top-right, the map depicts the heat-related relative risk of respiratory mortality. At the bottom-left, the map depicts the heat-related relative risk of all-cause emergency ambulance dispatches. At the center, the map depicts the heat-related relative risk of circulatory emergency ambulance dispatches. At the bottom-right, the map depicts the heat-related relative risk of respiratory emergency ambulance dispatches. The spatial variations range is divided into five parts: 1.48 to 1.78, 1.26 to 1.48, 1.14 to 1.26, 1.05 to 1.14, and 1.00 to 1.05.

Spatial variations in the cold- and heat-related RRs of all-cause and cause-specific mortality and EAD between 2015 and 2019 in Japan. RR is defined as the risk increment at cold and heat (the 1st and 99th percentiles of the temperature distribution) relative to MMTP. See Table S4–S6 for the corresponding prefecture-specific numeric data. Note: EAD, emergency ambulance dispatch; MMTP, minimum mortality/morbidity temperature percentile; RR, relative risk.
