In this context, the National Institute on Aging, part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, tips to avoid aging diseases related to high body temperature, called the "Heiberthermaa."
According to a statement issued by the Institute, a rising body temperature on exposure to warm-up, including cases involving sick Alhaabrthurmaa: heatstroke and heat exhaustion, fainting and heat, and heat cramps and heat exhaustion.
Alhaabrthurmaa factors:Include health factors that increase the risk of high body temperature: pre-existing illnesses such as substantially diminished heart failure, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lack of movement, and dementia or cognitive impairment, and medications that cause dry or that adversely affect the responses of the heart and blood vessels and sweat glands, and excess weight, alcohol consumption, and drought in general, and skin changes such as low age-related functions of small blood vessels and sweat glands.
