Physiological responses to 9 hours of heat exposure in young and older adults. Part I: body temperature and hemodynamic regulation
Aging is associated with an elevated risk of heat-related mortality and morbidity, attributed,
in part, to declines in thermoregulation. However, comparisons between young and older …
