Gregorio Jiménez Díaz, geriatra: “El cuerpo necesita mantener una temperatura estable, pero con la edad los mecanismos de regulación térmica comienzan a fallar”

Gregorio Jiménez Díaz, a prominent geriatric specialist, highlights that as people age, the body's ability to regulate its internal temperature diminishes, leading to increased vulnerability to thermal extremes. This decline in thermoregulation is crucial to understand because it affects the health and safety of older adults, who are more susceptible to heatstroke and hypothermia. His insights emphasize the importance of environmental awareness and proactive measures to protect elderly individuals from temperature-related health issues.
