Heatwaves have a huge impact on our physical and mental health. Doctors usually fear them, as emergency rooms quickly fill up with patients suffering from dehydration, delirium and fainting. Recent studies suggest at least a 10% rise in hospital emergency room visits on days when temperatures reach or exceed the top 5% of the normal temperature range for a given location.
Soaring temperatures can also make symptoms worse in those with mental health conditions. Heatwaves — as well as other weather events such as floods and fires — have been linked to a rise in depressive symptoms in people with depression, and a rise in anxiety symptoms in those with generalised anxiety disorder — a disorder that makes people feel anxious most of the time.
A Boston University study found that those in rooms without air conditioning during a heatwave performed 13% worse than their peers in cognitive tests and had 13% slower reaction time. When people are not thinking clearly due to heat, it is more likely they will become frustrated, and this, in turn, can lead to aggression. There is strong evidence linking extreme heat with a rise in violent crime. Even just a one or two degrees Celsius increase in ambient temperatures can lead to a 3-5% spike in assaults.

34. (FAMEMA 2023) De acordo com o texto,
- o número de crimes violentos aumenta durante o inverno.
- os sintomas de ansiedade tendem a diminuir nos dias de temperaturas mais altas.
- o calor não chega a afetar a capacidade de raciocinar das pessoas.
- o aumento da temperatura pode deixar as pessoas mais agressivas.
- o número de ocorrências nos prontos-socorros aumenta consideravelmente no inverno.
Resposta: D
Resolução: O texto sugere que há uma relação entre o aumento da temperatura e o aumento da agressividade, sendo que até mesmo um pequeno aumento na temperatura ambiente pode resultar em um aumento percentual significativo em casos de agressão. Portanto, a opção correta é que o aumento da temperatura pode deixar as pessoas mais agressivas.
