Heatwaves' impact on nine chronic illnesses

Studies indicate that intense heatwaves pose a threat to the health of individuals with chronic illnesses, especially those with heart, lung, and nervous system conditions. Such heat can lead to a worsening of their health, increased emergency visits, and higher mortality rates. Additionally, high temperatures can exacerbate symptoms of arthritis, increase cases of kidney stones, and impair kidney function. They also worsen respiratory conditions like asthma and heat-related stress, while negatively affecting patients with diabetes and lupus. Medical experts recommend adopting preventive measures such as staying well-hydrated and avoiding direct exposure to the sun.
