Note: Hot season was defined as the city-specific adjacent 4 hottest months and varied by city (e.g., December to March for São Paulo, August to November for Manaus). Population coverage was calculated as the total population in included cities divided by the national (or regional) total population, according to population data from Brazilian Census 2010 (BIGS 2010). E10–E14 are ICD-10 codes of diabetes. The bottom row in Table represents interquartile range (IQR) of age. —, no data; IQR, interquartile range; SD, standard deviation.
