| Popis: | 展望論文 Review Article People respond to changes in the external environment such as climate change by maintaining homeostasis. However, when the homeostatic mechanism fails, various effects occur on the human mind and body. Various climate changes have significantly occurred in recent years in Japan, such as the unusual heat of summer exceeding 40℃ and the short-term torrential rain which causes secondary disasters. Some people are facing physical or mental health challenges from daily climate changes. This challenge could happen much more to older adults due to the possibility of a decline in function homeostasis and various kinds of stress through their life changes. This study summarizes and reviews previous studies on the effects of climate change on older adults and the challenges. Furthermore, this study focuses on older adults and the relevant prospects for future research. |
