简要总结
While an upper limit of 26°C has been shown to be protective for heat-vulnerable older occupants (DOI: 10.1289/EHP11651), this recommendation did not consider the added heat burden associated with increases in internal heat production accompanying activities of daily living or the restriction to heat loss caused by clothing insulation. To safeguard the health of older adults, health agencies worldwide recommend the remain in cool space indoors, avoid strenuous activity, wear lightweight clothing, and drink cool water regularly throughout the day. However, older adults do not sense heat as well as their younger counterparts. Consequently, they may not take appropriate countermeasures to mitigate physiological strain from indoor overheating. This may include overdressing despite high indoor temperatures. In other cases, individuals may wear insulated clothing in hot weather to observe cultural or religious modesty requirements, which serve as expressions of faith and identity rather than a tool for thermoregulation. Further, individuals may be unaware of the consequences of increases in physical activity on heat gain and may therefore not adjust their normal day-to-day activity levels to prevent potentially dangerous rises in body temperature. Consequently, this may necessitate a lowering of recommended upper indoor temperature limit during hot weather.
To address these important considerations, on separate occasions the investigators will assess the change in body temperature and cardiovascular strain in older adults (65-85 years) exposed for 8 hours to the recommended indoor temperature upper limit of 26°C and 45% relative humidity equivalent humidex of 29 (considered comfortable) while they A) perform seated rest dressed in light clothing (t-shirt, shorts and socks), B) perform light exercise (stepping exercise to simulate activities of daily living, 4-4.5 METS) every hour (except during lunch hour period) dressed in light clothing, C) perform light exercise (4-4.5 METS) every hour (except during lunch hour period) dressed in light clothing (t-shirt, shorts and socks) and an added clothing layer (sweatshirt and sweatpants) and D) perform seated rest dressed in light clothing (t-shirt, shorts and socks) and an added clothing layer (sweatshirt and sweatpants). With this experimental design, investigators will assess the effects of added clothing insulation and light activity, representative in activities of daily living on physiological strain and identify whether refinements in the recommended 26°C indoor temperature limit may be required.
