Nighttime light (NTL) data is recognized as a reliable proxy for measuring the scope and intensity of human activity, finding wide application in studies such as urbanization monitoring, socioeconomic estimation, and ecological environment assessment. However, the substantial discrepancies and limited temporal coverage of existing NTL datasets have constrained their potential for long-term research applications. To address this, a Nighttime Light U-Net super-resolution network is proposed for the cross-sensor calibration between the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program-Operational Linescan System (DMSP-OLS) NTL data and the Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership-Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (NPP-VIIRS) NTL data. This network is applied to generate a continuous and consistent 500-meter global annual simulated VIIRS NTL dataset (SVNL) from 1992 to 2023. Validation results indicate a high confidence in the quality of the SVNL data, demonstrating its superiority in capturing longer NTL dynamics, maintaining higher temporal consistency, and presenting greater spatial detail compared with other NTL datasets. The SVNL could be utilized for prolonged human activities monitoring, and further research on regional or global urbanization.

Predicting grip strength-related frailty in middle-aged and older Chinese adults using interpretable machine learning models: a prospective cohort study.

Introduction: Frailty is an emerging global health burden, and there is no consensus on the precise prediction of frailty. We aimed to explore the association between grip strength and frailty and interpret the optimal machine learning (ML) model using the SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) to predict the risk of frailty.
Methods: Data for the study were extracted from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) database.

Anthropogenic climate change will have a negative impact on worldwide well-being over and above the direct consequences of rising average temperatures. But anthropogenic heat (AH) relationship with childhood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is unknown. To assess the relationship with AH exposure and childhood ADHD symptoms in the context of global climate change, this study was conducted in a cross-sectional survey from April 2012 to May 2018 in the northeastern, northwestern, and southern regions of China, with a total enrollment of 179,846 children aged 6-18 years.

Current literature lacks information regarding impacts of green spaces on susceptibility to cardiovascular disease (CVD) related to harmful environmental exposures. The UK Biobank cohort study was utilized to investigate whether green spaces can mitigate risks associated with air pollutants, nighttime light, noise, and traffic intensity. Latent Profile Analysis was performed on green spaces and adverse environmental exposures in order to assess individual level exposure.

Nighttime light data partially reflects the process of urban modernization and its reaction to urban scale, but its correlation with noise remains unclear, especially over a long-term time series, remains unclear. To address this gap, we examine 31 provincial capital cities and municipalities in China as the study area, utilizing noise monitoring data and nighttime light data to explore their relationship in urban areas from 2012 to 2021. The results show that: (1) During the study period, the regional environmental noise and night light index of 31 major cities exhibited a consistent upward trend, with the average equivalent sound level of environmental noise in most urban areas fluctuating between 50.
