Understanding the effect of extreme heat on obesity
Protocol: STUDY00010031
Full Title
Influence of obesity on thermoregulatory responses during simulated extreme heat events with physical activity
Description
People with obesity have a higher risk of getting sick or even dying in extreme heat. We know obesity makes it harder for the body to stay cool, but we don’t fully understand why.
In this study, we want to learn how the body reacts to heat in adults with obesity. You will:
Do normal, everyday activities in hot, dry air environments
Do normal, everyday activities in warm, humid conditions
Compensation: No
Eligibility
18-44 years old
Consider yourself healthy
2 groups:
Males with less than 18% body fat, females with less than 31% body fat
Males with 26.5% body fat or higher, and females with 39% body fat or higher
