Healthy Ageing: Getting Too Hot To Handle?

Hot, hot, and hot. While we’re all struggling with the heat and humidity during this prolonged heatwave, how are people who are more vulnerable, like older adults, coping, especially if they also have existing health issues? On this episode of Healthy Ageing, consultant geriatrician Prof Dr Tan Maw Pin shares how older adults - and their family members - can watch out for the heat affecting them.
