The association of remotely-sensed outdoor temperature with blood pressure levels in REGARDS: a cross-sectional study of a large, national cohort of African-American and white participants

Table 2 Multivariable Relationships of Temperatures with Blood Pressure (N = 20,773)

Temperature-BP models	Same-Day Maximum Temperatures (mmHg difference associated with 20°F lower)	Weekly Maximum Temperature Variability (mmHg difference associated with a SD higher variability)	Same-Day Minimum Temperatures (mmHg difference associated with 20°F lower)	Weekly Minimum Temperature Variability (mmHg difference associated with a SD higher variability)
	Maximum temperature - SBP Model		Minimum temperature - SBP Model
Basic adjusted model *	1.5 (1.3, 1.8)	--	1.1 (0.8, 1.3)	--
Adjusted (with variability)**	1.4 (1.1, 1.6)	0.4 (0.1, 0.6)	0.7 (0.5, 1.0)	0.7 (0.4, 0.9)
Adjusted (with variability and season) ^#	1.4 (1.1, 1.8)	0.4 (0.1, 0.6)	0.7 (0.4, 1.1)	0.5 (0.2, 0.8)
	Maximum temperature - DBP Model		Minimum temperature - DBP Model
Basic adjusted model *	0.7 (0.5, 0.8)	--	0.4 (0.3, 0.6)	--
Adjusted (with variability)**	0.7 (0.5, 0.9)	0.0 (-0.2, 0.1)	0.4 (0.2, 0.5)	0.1 (0.0, 0.3)

BP = blood pressure; SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; SD = Standard Deviation
