This study tested whether a 7-day routine of warm water baths could help older women handle indoor overheating better. Sixteen participants were exposed to a simulated 10-hour heat wave before and after the baths. The goal was to see if the baths reduced body temperature spikes a…

This study tested two cooling methods to help outdoor workers lower their body temperature and avoid heat illness. 40 workers were monitored while using cooling vests or other cooling techniques. The goal was to see which method works best to keep core temperature down during hot…

This study tested a program called GRACE that helps primary care patients assess their risk for diseases like heart disease, cancer, and liver disease using family health history. Researchers enrolled 245 patients from five clinics, including low-resource settings, to see how man…

This study looked at how heat waves impact the heart and body temperature in healthy older adults (65+) compared to younger people. Researchers measured core body temperature and heart function during simulated heat wave conditions. The goal was to understand the risks so we can …
