First seen Apr 12, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study looks at how estrogen levels affect the way women's bodies handle heat. Researchers will compare women before and after menopause (ages 42–64) by measuring skin blood flow, sweating, and body temperature during mild heating. No treatment is given—the goal is simply to understand why older women are more at risk during heat waves.
