Ambient Heat has similar impact on aging as smoking

CNN Radio Argentina (CNN Radio Argentina) – José Manuel Viudes, a gerontology specialist at the Italian Hospital (MN 92.965 MP 1717), spoke this Thursday with Regreso CNN de Mariana Arias and Pepe Gil Vidal about how the heat wave affects the elderly and what preventive measures should be taken. “With heat waves, the first thing that affects the elderly, especially the most fragile, is their sensory state,” explained Viudes. According to the spe…

‘Climate Change’ Is Making People Live Longer! – ‘As temperatures increase (if they do), so does life expectancy!’

Statistician Dr. Matt Briggs:  Hawaii, the hottest state on average all year round, with averages around 70 in the coldest months, and near 90 in the summers, had the highest life expectancy (80.7 years), and highest at 65 (21 years). Michigan, which I can personally attest is damn cold, ranks 36 at birth (76 years) and also 36 at 65 (17.8 years). Whereas hot-hot-hot Florida ranks 19th at birth (77.5 years), soaring to number 6 at 65 (19.2 years

Extreme heat silently accelerates aging on a molecular level, new research shows • Nevada Current

Extreme heat increases the risk of a number of diseases, including kidney and heart conditions. (Photo: Spencer Platt/Getty Images)What if extreme heat not only leaves you feeling exhausted but actually makes you age faster? Scientists already know that extreme heat increases the risk of heat stroke, cardiovascular disease, kidney dysfunction and even death. I see these effects often in my work as a researcher studying how environmental stressor…

Aging may speed up in areas with extreme heat, research suggests

Extreme heat may accelerate aging in older adults, a new study suggests. More days of higher temperatures resulted in faster biological aging, with potential negative health impacts.

Bjorn Lomborg: Heat deaths are being hyped, while deaths from the cold are ignored

Second in a series: Global warming does cause heat deaths to rise. But many more people die from the cold
