Summary

This study looks at how older women (65+) handle extreme heat and humidity. Researchers will expose 12 women to increasing humidity in a hot room to find the exact point where their bodies can no longer keep cool. The goal is to better understand heat risks for this group as climate change brings more heat waves.
