Association between long-term, short-term spatial land surface temperature variations and health-related quality of life in Lima, Peru
These findings demonstrate the complex interplay of LST as an environmental exposure and HRQOL in urban settings. Insights from this study can optimise public health policies and interventions aimed at promoting healthy behaviours, improving environmental conditions, and enhancing population well-being. Further research should investigate the observed associations across diverse geographic settings and develop targeted strategies to improve HRQOL in the context of rising global temperatures.
