Seniors’ bodies don’t cope as well with heat as younger people’s bodies do, making them more vulnerable to all sorts of heat-related illnesses. With Spring quickly approaching, we’re shining a light on the potential hazards of the hotter months and discussing what older adults can do to protect themselves.

Seniors are vulnerable to heat for multiple reasons. The first is that as we age, our body’s ability to sweat and regulate our body temperature decreases. Some elderly people also have chronic health conditions that affect their ability to cope successfully with heat. Heart, lung, and kidney diseases increase your risk of heat-related illnesses.

Many seniors don’t experience the urge to drink as frequently, which can cause them to forget to hydrate. This may lead to dehydration or more heat-related severe illnesses if not caught and addressed early.
