A new study reveals that extreme heat, exacerbated by climate change, accelerates biological ageing in older adults. Researchers from the University of Southern California found that seniors in areas with frequent temperatures above 32°C exhibit increased biological age, which is linked to higher disease risk and premature death. The study emphasizes the combined dangers of heat and humidity, particularly for older individuals who struggle to cool themselves. With rising global temperatures, there is an urgent need to protect vulnerable populations, especially seniors, from heat-related health risks. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
