摘 要:Elderly health is increasingly recognized as a worldwide challenge with the continuous social aging *** study aimed to investigate the thermal conditions of the elderly in rural areas of Shandong,*** thermal sensation and physiological response performances of elderly participants were examined in their own *** show a clear seasonal pattern in cardiovascular disease mortality,cold stress increases the cardiovascular disease *** coal-based stoves serve as the main source of home heating and their limited coverage of the room area gave rise to poor quality of thermal *** analysis of skin temperature for those under 65 and above did not reveal any significant difference in response to different indoor *** regression results confirm that a colder home leads to a rising value of the elderly’s systolic blood pressure,rising by more than 1 mmHg for every 1℃decrease in indoor temperature and thus posing a greater risk of cardiovascular *** systolic blood pressure value of older subjects rise more when they are exposed to decreasing indoor temperatures,possibly due to an age-related decline in their ability to maintain stability of blood *** is noteworthy that the average blood velocity of older subjects reduces less in response to decreasing indoor temperatures,indicating a weakened capacity to resist cold stress and its associated high risk of *** investigation provides evidence in favor of improving the thermal environment of the elderly and reducing their risk of cardiovascular diseases.
