Scientists test older Women's limits in extreme heat

NCT ID NCT07032493

Summary

This study aims to understand how older women's bodies handle extreme heat and humidity, which is important as climate change increases heat waves. Researchers will test 12 older female participants in controlled hot environments to find the exact point where their bodies can no longer cool themselves effectively. The results will help identify dangerous heat conditions and could inform safety guidelines for vulnerable populations during extreme heat events.
