High temperatures raise stroke risk
The article discusses the impact of high temperatures on health, warning that temperatures above 30°C are associated with an increased risk of stroke. It is expected that heat-related stroke cases will rise from approximately 1% currently to between 5% and 8% over the next twenty to thirty years. The report explains that hot weather also affects sleep quality, especially when nighttime temperatures exceed 20°C, making body cooling difficult and leading to sleep disturbances that increase the risks of stroke and dementia. Older adults, children, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic illnesses are more vulnerable to the health dangers posed by heat waves, particularly due to weakened cooling mechanisms and rising pollution levels. It is advised to take measures to protect sleep quality, reduce heat exposure, and improve ventilation, green spaces, and housing conditions to mitigate the negative effects on brain health.
