Age-related relative risk in the NCS-NCS, DTHR-NCS, and STHR-NCS models. Only the ≥65 year old category (e–f) required a DTHR-NCS model, because of its prominent low and high temperature effects. All other age groups were reduced to STHR-NCS as their final form, with the 0–14-year-old age group (b) exhibiting a pronounced lower temperature effect. NCS: natural cubic spline, STHR: single high threshold, DTHR: double high threshold.
