Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals for the odds of cardiovascular mortality during extreme heat (EH, the 99th percentile of mean daily minimum temperature over lag days 0-3) vs. non-EH among elderly individuals without (low) or with (high) a given individual characteristic or elderly individuals residing in ZIP codes in the 25th (low) or 75th (high) percentiles of the ZIP-code characteristic, with multiple interactions per model, in 8 cities in Michigan, May-September, 1990-2007.
