Thermoregulation in the Aging Population and Practical Strategies to Overcome a Warmer Tomorrow

As global temperatures continue to rise, improving thermal tolerance in the aged population is crucial to counteract age‐associated impairments in thermoregulatory function. Impairments in reflex cutaneous vasodilation and sweating response can augment the vulnerability of older adults to heat‐related injuries following exposure to heat stress. Mechanisms underlying a compromised cutaneous vasodilation are suggested to include reduced...
