Older Adults Show Greater Increase in Body Temperature in Simulated Heatwave Than Previously Reported

Under conditions designed to better mirror real-world conditions, a new study finds that adults 65 and older are affected more by heatwave-like temperatures than previously reported. The study included intermittent bouts of light activity and was published in the Journal of Applied Physiology.
