Is your home too hot? study tests safety limits for seniors

NCT ID NCT07189507

Summary

This study aims to understand if the current recommended safe indoor temperature of 26°C is still protective for older adults when they are doing light daily activities or wearing more clothing. Researchers will measure body temperature, heart strain, and other health signs in adults aged 65-85 during 8-hour sessions under different conditions. The goal is to gather evidence to see if public heat safety guidelines need to be updated.
