Hot weather can pose serious health risks for older adults.
“As we age, we become less efficient at noticing and adjusting to the heat,” geriatrics specialist Dr. Juan Cobo said in a center news release. “We sweat less, slowing our ability to cool down. At the same time, we become less sensitive to thirst. By the time we feel thirsty, we're already dehydrated to some degree.”
Certain conditions and medications add to the risk that someone will overheat. These include lack of mobility because it may be hard for a person to get up and move to a cooler spot or get a drink of water.People with
