Notes: * The relative risk of mortality from cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, ischemic heart disease and hypertensive disease were associated with the 1st percentile of temperature against the 25th percentile of temperature. The 1st percentile of temperature in Beijing and Shanghai was −6.1 °C and 0.5 °C, respectively. The 25th percentile of temperature in Beijing and Shanghai was 3 °C and 9.8 °C, respectively; a p < 0.05.
