Attributable mortality was computed as total and as separate components for heat and cold. The minimum mortality percentile, which corresponds to a minimum mortality temperature among the whole temperatures, was derived from the prediction of the overall cumulative exposure-response association. Age 0–64 group has a 100th minimum mortality percentile, because the tail of the curve towards to low which is different from others.
