Heat stress in older individuals and people with chronic diseases
-
Ottawa, August 24, 2009 -People over the age of 60 are the most vulnerable to heat waves, with 82% to 92% more deaths than average occurring in this age group.
Risks for heat-related illness or injury – such as heat stroke, heat exhaustion and heat cramps – are also heightened in people with obesity, heart disease, diabetes and respiratory conditions as these decrease the body’s ability to adapt to temperature changes.
A review prepared by Professor Glen Kenny from the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Ottawa and coauthors published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) describes the effect of heat on human physiology and factors that increase the risk of heat stress.
