Lima Peru: Land Surface Temperature and Health-Related Quality of Life Survey Data

Lima, Peru is the geographic focus of this cross-sectional dataset linking long-term and short-term spatial land surface temperature (LST) variations with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measures. The data likely contains survey responses using the EQ-5D-5L instrument and corresponding environmental temperature metrics. It is provided as supplementary material for a research study on the association between urban heat and self-reported health.

Use Cases

• Analyzing correlations between land surface temperature and self-rated health scores (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Modeling the spatial distribution of health-related quality of life indicators (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Assessing urban heat island effects on community health outcomes (inferred from domain, verify after download)

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting reuse and redistribution
• Cross-platform presence on figshare suggests established research importance
• Includes specific, validated health measurement instruments (EQ-5D-5L)

Limitations

• Metadata is minimal; actual content requires verification after download
• Column names and exact row count are not specified in the provided metadata
• The dataset's time range and specific collection method are not detailed
