Elderly face greater risk with extreme summer heat
AUGUSTA (MNS) -
Wilken Clark, 87, trained
during World War II in a
desert in California where
temperatures could reach
130 degrees Fahrenheit dur
ing the day. But he wasn’t
about to go back outside St.
John Towers on Wednesday
afternoon as the heat index
reached 110 degrees.
“I wouldn’t get out after
noon at all,” he advised.
“Unless I had to.”
In a 2006 study by Harvard
University School of Public
Health of deaths in major
cities between 1989 and
2000, those more than 65
years old were much more
likely to die on days with
extreme heat. The elderly
are particularly susceptible
to extreme heat for a vari
ety of reasons. The body’s
primary way of cooling is by
sweating, but over time, that
ability can become impaired,
said Dr. Michael Bergeron,
an applied physiologist at
Medical College of Georgia
who has studied heat-relat-

ed problems. The sun can
harm the sweat glands, and
over time, they can become
less productive, he said. The
smaller blood vessels in the
skin can become damaged,
as well, and impede the abil
ity to bring blood to the
surface to cool. Older people
in general seem to have a
decreased ability to transfer
blood away from the body’s
core for cooling, he said.
“We’re talking about small
things but collectively they
may play out to be cumula
tively meaningful,” he said.

as diabetes and hyperten

heat more problematic, said
Dr. Fred Merrill, medical
director for Kentwood and
Westwood nursing homes.
And the medications to treat
them can create their own
problems, he said.
“Diuretics, for example,
cause fluid to go out of your
body, so you can get dehy

said. “Dehydration is one of

have side effects that impair
the body’s ability to sweat.”
And the elderly might
drink less fluids because
they lack the bladder con
trol they once had, Bergeron
said. Another reason might
be socioeconomic as the
elderly tend to be more
financially constrained and
might lack air-conditioning,
Merrill said. A 2006 tem
perature survey by a home
health company bears that
out: In about 20 percent of
the elderly homes sampled,
the temperature was greater
than 90 degrees.
