Abstract
Short-term passive heat acclimation via warm-water immersion may influence autophagic regulation in older adults.
- Age-related declines in thermoregulatory and cardiovascular function increase vulnerability to heat-related health issues.
- Passive heat acclimation is effective in enhancing heat loss mechanisms for older individuals.
- Autophagy is a vital cellular process that decreases with age and is linked to cellular survival.
- The effects of passive heat acclimation on autophagy and related cellular stress pathways in older adults remain unexplored.
