Figure 5.

Figure 5A is a line graph plotting relative risks ranging from 0 to 2.0 in increments of 0.5 (y-axis) across mean temperature (degrees Celsius; x-axis) for the following locations: Sao Paulo, BR; Toronto, CA; Tokyo, JP; Seoul, KR; Manila, PH; City of Cape Town, SA; Barcelona, SP; Zurich, SW; Taipei, TW; South East, UK; Los Angeles, CA, US; and Ho Chi Minh, VN. Figure 5B is a histogram plotting temperature distributions (degrees Celsius) for the aforementioned locations.

(A) Lag-cumulative temperature–suicide associations for the locations with the largest number of suicides in each country, estimated by using a conditional Poisson model adjusting for seasonality, long-term time trend, and the day of week. Solid lines are the cities where the curves were nearly linear. Thick dashed lines are the cities with the inverted J-shaped curves. Thin dashed lines are the cities with large uncertainty. BR, Brazil; CA, Canada; JP, Japan; KR, South Korea; PH, the Philippines; RR, relative risk; SA, South Africa; SP, Spain; SW, Switzerland; TW, Taiwan; UK, the UK; US, the United States; VN, Vietnam. (B) Temperature distributions (°C) for the selective locations with the largest number of suicides for each country. The x-axis indicates mean temperature, and the y-axis indicates the number of days.
