Cases ofheat-related illnessare rising with average air temperatures, and experts say almost half of those getting sick are children. The reason is twofold: Children's bodies have more trouble regulating temperature than those of adults, and they rely on adults to help protect them from overheati...

Mental illnesses can impair individuals’ ability to recognize and respond to heat-related symptoms, while social isolation can prevent timely assistance or intervention (Amolegbe et al. 2022). The older adults who live alone often fall into additional risk categories (including existing illness), ...

This is in part because of their relatively infrequent occurrence: insufficient heat acclimatization is a risk factor associated with heat-related illness morbidity37. Populations in cold climates are more sensitive to heat than those in warmer climates, and northern latitude cities, like Tacoma, have...
Learn and share thewarning signs of heat-related illness. Make sure they drink plenty of water and other replenishing fluids. While we must do our best to limit climate change to keep our planet from getting ever hotter, we must also make every effort to protect the vulnerable from the impa...
Disorders that impair thermoregulatory autonomic pathways may increase the risk of heat-related or cold-related illness. However, they do not always present in this way, as patients may retain sufficient thermoregulatory capacity to tolerate and remain normothermic in their particular environments. The...
The frequency, duration, and intensity of heat waves have exacerbated worldwide (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 2021). Exposure to extreme heat may lead to heat-related illness when heat stress exceeds heat strain tolerance in the human body (Bernard, 2012), which has emerged...
