The 5 Texas Cities Most at Risk for Senior Heat Stroke
As we enter the hottest time of the year, addressing the risk of heat stroke is important.
While heat stroke can affect anyone, senior citizens and those with health issues are particularly vulnerable.
In the case of senior citizens, many have difficulty adjusting to temperature changes. So, senior citizens who live in homes without adequate air conditioning are especially at risk.
In addition, people with preexisting conditions, chronic diseases, those who do not drink enough water, and those who drink excessive amounts of alcohol have a higher risk of heat stroke.
Below you’ll find the five Texas cities where senior citizens are most at risk for heat stroke, according to Carewell.
