¹ OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval; ² Adjusted for all other factors listed in table; ³ Reported a belief that on very hot days, the heat inside their home is very likely or somewhat likely to make them ill; ⁴ Reported being “very concerned” or “somewhat concerned” that more frequent heat waves due to climate change would negatively impact their health.
