Abstract in brief

Passive heat therapy, such as hot baths and saunas, offers a promising preventive strategy to enhance the health and resilience of older adults and individuals with chronic diseases against the increasing frequency of extreme heat events caused by climate change.
It has been shown to improve cardiovascular function and thermoregulation, potentially reducing heat-related health risks and aiding in heat acclimation, which helps the body better manage high temperatures.
As climate change leads to more severe and prolonged heatwaves, integrating passive heat therapy could be an effective proactive measure to mitigate adverse health outcomes in vulnerable populations.]
