极端高温是全球人类健康的主要威胁。COVID-19疫情的复杂性和全球影响力为公共卫生带来了前所未有的挑战，并凸显了社会对危险炎热天气的脆弱性。在这项研究中，我们使用了对3036名美国成年人进行的三波全国代表性调查的数据，以研究COVID-19大流行如何影响2020年夏季的极端高温脆弱性。我们使用混合效应模型来研究社会人口特征和流行病相关因素在美国各地负面热效应和经验分布中的作用。调查结果显示，超过四分之一的美国人在2020年夏天经历了与热有关的症状。混合效应模型表明，在所有社会经济群体中，最脆弱的是妇女、低收入家庭、失业者或休假者，以及西班牙裔或拉丁裔或其他非白人人口普查类别（包括亚洲人、美洲印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民、夏威夷原住民或其他太平洋岛民，以及多种族美国居民）。研究结果表明，由于COVID-19大流行的直接和间接影响，美国数百万人难以应对或应对极端高温。有限的冷却以及与COVID-19相关的社会隔离在对热健康的不利影响中发挥了重要作用。从地理上看，美国南部和西部在自我报告的负面热效应方面表现突出。总体而言，研究表明，两种健康危害-极端高温和冠状病毒SARS-CoV 2-的交叉放大了现有的系统脆弱性，并扩大了易受热应激影响的人群的人口范围。
Extreme heat is a major threat to human health worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic, with its complexity and global reach, created unprecedented challenges for public health and highlighted societal vulnerability to hazardous hot weather. In this study, we used data from a three-wave nationally representative survey of 3036 American adults to examine how the COVID-19 pandemic affected extreme heat vulnerability during the summer of 2020. We used mixed effects models to examine the roles of socio-demographic characteristics and pandemic-related factors in the distribution of negative heat effects and experiences across the United States. The survey findings show that over a quarter of the US population experienced heat-related symptoms during the summer of 2020. Mixed effects models demonstrate that among all socio-economic groups, those who were most vulnerable were women, those in low-income households, unemployed or on furlough, and people who identify as Hispanic or Latino or as other non-white census categories (including Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, and multi-racial US residents). The study findings indicate that millions of people in the US had difficulty coping with or responding to extreme heat because of the direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Limited access to cooling as well as COVID-19 related social isolation played a major role in adverse heat health effects. Geographically, the South and the West of the US stood out in terms of self-reported negative heat effects. Overall, the study suggests that the intersection of two health hazards—extreme heat and coronavirus SARS-CoV2—amplified existing systemic vulnerabilities and expanded the demographic range of people vulnerable to heat stress.
