Other studies have used apparent temperature, the humidex, and temporal synoptic index (Zanobetti and Schwartz 2008).
We used apparent temperature as an index, defined as a person's perceived air temperature, given the humidity [ 24].
To control for weather, we used apparent temperature, defined as a person's perceived air temperature (O'Neill et al. 2003).
These results were not sensitive to the alternative model in which we used apparent temperature, rather than temperature, to adjust for weather effects.
To adjust for weather condition, we used apparent temperature as an index, defined as a person's perceived air temperature, given the humidity [ 35].
To control for potential impacts of weather, we used apparent temperature (AT) for the same and previous day, defined as an individual's perceived air temperature given the humidity.

We repeated the analysis using apparent temperature rather than temperature (data not shown), but the pattern and magnitude of associations were essentially unchanged.
We also estimated the exposure-response functions using apparent temperature instead of mean air temperature, again considering two-day and 15-day averages.
Results using apparent temperature were also very similar, but did not show evidence for increased heat susceptibility in diabetics (OR = 1.007; 95% CI, 0.979 1.035).
However, findings in the present study suggest that HIs including humidity and other meteorological factors [i.e., heat waves defined using apparent temperature (HI08 HI10) or heat index values HI13 HI16)] may not be more predictive of adverse heat-related health effects, which is consistent with previous research (Vaneckova et al. 2011).
models adjusted for education (≤12 years, 13-16 years, >16 years), ≥2 alcoholic drinks per day, age at first adhesion molecule measurement, time since first measurement, body mass index (BMI), diabetes or fasting glucose >126 mg/dL, smoking status, pack-years smoked, hypertension medication use (yes/no), statin use, apparent temperature, seasonality (sine and cosine of month), CRP >10 mg/L.
