Abstract

Climate change is intensifying the frequency and severity of heatwaves, posing a significant threat to public health. Urban elderly populations are particularly vulnerable due to the urban heat island effect and age-related physiological sensitivities. Quantifying this risk with precision is essential for developing targeted public health interventions. This study aimed to quantify the association between exposure to extreme heat events, as measured by remote sensing data, and all-cause mortality among an elderly urban population. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using health data for 50,000 urban residents aged 65 and over from 2015-2022. Land Surface Temperature (LST) data derived from Landsat satellites were used to define heatwave exposure at a granular, neighborhood level. Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the association between heatwave exposure and mortality, adjusting for confounding variables. A significant association was found between heatwave exposure and increased mortality risk. For each 1°C increase in LST during a heatwave, there was a 5.2% (95% CI: 4.5%-6.0%) increase in all-cause mortality. The risk was most pronounced in neighborhoods with lower green space coverage. Satellite-derived remote sensing data provide a powerful tool for assessing heatwave-related mortality risk in urban elderly populations. These findings underscore the urgent need for urban planning and public health strategies focused on heat mitigation to protect vulnerable residents.

Abstract

The ubiquitous presence of social media platforms has created an environment where individuals are constantly exposed to curated, idealized self-presentations. This environment is thought to intensify the natural human tendency for social comparison, which has significant implications for psychological well-being, particularly self-esteem. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the intensity of social media use, the tendency for social comparison, and levels of self-esteem among young adults. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with a sample of 350 university students (aged 18-24). Participants completed validated instruments, including the Social Media Intensity Scale, the Iowa-Netherlands Comparison Orientation Measure (INCOM), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Correlation and mediation analyses were performed to test the hypothesized relationships. A significant positive correlation was found between the intensity of social media use and social comparison orientation (r = .45, p < .001). In turn, social comparison orientation was significantly negatively correlated with self-esteem (r = -.52, p < .001). Mediation analysis confirmed that social comparison significantly mediated the relationship between social media intensity and lower self-esteem. Intensive engagement with social media is strongly associated with a greater tendency for social comparison, which in turn predicts lower self-esteem. These findings highlight social comparison as a key psychological mechanism through which social media use may negatively impact mental health.
