Indoor overheating: A review of vulnerabilities, causes, and strategies to prevent adverse human health outcomes during extreme heat events

Temperature, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11(3), P. 203 - 246

Published: June 4, 2024

The likelihood of exposure to overheated indoor environments is increasing as climate change exacerbating the frequency and severity hot weather extreme heat events (EHE). Consequently, vulnerable populations will face serious health risks from overheating. While relationship between EHE human has been assessed in relation outdoor temperature, temperature patterns can vary markedly those measured outside. This because built environment building characteristics act an important modifier temperatures. In this narrative review, we examine physiological behavioral determinants that influence a person's susceptibility Further, explore how environment, neighborhood-level factors, impact excess overview strategies mitigate overheating help reduce heat-related mortality heat-vulnerable occupants.

Exploring the contribution of inter-individual factors to the development of physiological heat strain in older adults exposed to simulated indoor overheating

Applied Physiology Nutrition and Metabolism, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 49(9), P. 1252 - 1270

Published: Sept. 1, 2024

Older adults are at elevated risk of heat-related mortality due to age-associated declines in thermoregulatory and cardiovascular function. However, the inter-individual factors that exacerbate physiological heat strain during exposure remain unclear, making it challenging identify more heat-vulnerable subgroups. We therefore explored contributing variability responses older exposed simulated hot weather. Thirty-seven (61-80 years, 16 females) rested for 8 h 31 36 °C (45% relative humidity). Core (rectal) temperature, heart rate (HR), HR variability, mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac autonomic standing were measured baseline end-exposure. Bootstrapped least absolute shrinkage selection operator regression was used evaluate whether variation these related type 2 diabetes (T2D,

Time to reach equilibrium deep body temperatures in young and older adults resting in the heat: A descriptive secondary analysis

AJP Regulatory Integrative and Comparative Physiology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 327(3), P. R369 - R377

Published: Sept. 1, 2024

Deep body (rectal) temperature took 3–5 h on average and up to 6–8 at the individual level reach thermal equilibrium in young older adults resting heat. Furthermore, stable rectal temperatures were delayed by 2 relative achievement of heat balance (0 kJ/min rate storage). We provide first quantification temporal profiles strain during extended rest conditions simulating hot weather.

Meta-analysis of heat-induced changes in cardiac function from over 400 laboratory-based heat exposure studies

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16(1)

Published: March 14, 2025

Heat waves are associated with increased fatalities from adverse cardiovascular events attributed to the negative effects of heat on cardiac function. However, scientific understanding acute adjustments has come primarily laboratory experiments employing insulated and encapsulated heating modalities, most commonly water-perfused suits. We evaluated whether findings those studies reflect responses during more natural exposures hot ambient conditions simulated in climate-controlled chambers by synthesizing over 400 laboratory-based exposure (6858 participant-exposures) published between 1961–2024. Among all included studies, median (interquartile range) elevations core temperature heart rate baseline end-exposure were 0.9 (0.5–1.3)°C 27 (15–40) beats/min. Multilevel mixed-effects meta-analyses revealed exacerbated rate, output, pressure product (estimate workload) blunted falls systolic participants heated via modalities. Leveraging large dataset, we also provide empirical estimates body a wide range experienced waves.
