Elderly people were most affected. The impact on death rates due to heart failure, arrhythmia and stroke was particularly striking. The mechanisms that cause these deaths, however, are not yet fully understood. Up to now it has been known that high temperatures, amongst other things, can ...
Physiologically, elderly adults have a diminished ability to sweat, and infants have a lower heat loss capacity relative to adults (Ebi et al., 2021). For that reason, hospitalization and death rates tend to be higher for these age groups. For example, in 2021, fully two-thirds of ...
