Study finds heat waves boost death and hospitalization risks for Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's patients.
A recent study in JAMA Neurology links heat waves to a higher risk of death and hospitalization for people with degenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's.
The risk increases by over 10% for every 1-degree Fahrenheit rise above 93 degrees.
These patients are more vulnerable due to their conditions and medications that interfere with the body's cooling mechanisms.
Doctors are advised to use telemedicine and regular check-ins to help protect these patients during heat waves.
