NCT ID NCT07032493
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how older women (65+) handle extreme heat and humidity, which is important because they face higher risks during heatwaves. Researchers will test 12 women in a hot room, slowly increasing humidity to find the exact point where their bodies can no longer cool down. The goal is to better understand these limits to help prevent heat-related illness.
