Effect size estimates and bootstrap-generated two-sided 95% confidence intervals for mediation effects of the association between daily maximum temperature and all-cause mortality (ACM) based on Lag 2- Lag 1 discrete-time model structure. Bold indicates statistically significant estimate at p < 0.05.
