Hot Summer Weather Is Potential Health Hazard For The Elderly Special. To Hie Pest .. Raleigh - Ho* summer weather is a potential health hazard forth* elder ly, according to Dr. Monroe T. G dm our, a Charlotte physician and Chairman of the Governor’s Ad visory Council, on Aging. Heat can plaoe a dangerous strain on the older body, especially the heart. Older adults are very vulnerable to dehy dration, heat exhalation, and heat stroke, which can be fatal. "During hot weather older people may not be aware that they -are losing a lot of body fluid,” he emphasised. “This can cause s drop -in blood pressure, and a decreased Mood flow to the brain.” Dr. Gilmour said that' elderly citi zens most vulnerable to heat re lated problems are those with a weak or damaged heart, hyperten sion, diabetes, circulation pro blems, excess weight, or those-who have suffered a stroke. Other-fac tors that affect a person's reaction to beat are infection or fever, diar rhea, drinking, and skin diseases or sunburn which may reduce sweating that helps cool the body. "However, when-the temperature is over 90 degrees, it becomes more difficult for the body to cool itself and eliminate excess hedt,” he added. Warning signs in the body take the form of both physical and mental changes, Or. Gilmour pointed out. Most older people feel hot, uncom fortable, and notice a lack of energy or loss of appetite during hot wea ther. These are mild danger warn ings. More serjous signs are dizzi ness, rapid heartbeat, diarrhea, nausea, throbbing headache, dry skin, chest pain, weakness, mental changes, breathing problems, faint ing, vomiting and cramps. Older individuals should pay attention to these early warnings signs of heat illness because heat stroke can be fatal. He noted that the best way to keep cool is to observe a few safety rules such as staying in cool surround ings that have fans or air condi tioners. A room temperature of 70-78 degrees is recommended. Dr. Gilmour also-recommends drinking plenty of water or other chilled fluids, taking cool baths and showers, and staying in the shade and breeze as ways to avoid heat related illnesses. In addition, he suggests avoiding alcoholic beve rages; avoiding heavy meals and hot foods and getting a doctor’s advice aljout medication during hot weather. Some medicines or drugs, such as tranquilizers, increase the risk of heat-related problems. He said that older people who cannot take care of themselves should be watched very carefully during hot weather. They- should be offered water or chilled liquids frequently, and kept cool. The most dangerous ages for heat stroke are 65 and over. ‘‘If senior citizens will slow down, get regular health check-ups, and follow these simple precautions they can enjoy a cool and relaxed summer,” Dr. Gilmour concluded.
