Individuals who are older, obese, unfit, have chronic disease, or experience acute illness or infection are at high risk for heat-induced pathologies (e.g., heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heat stroke).
“those who are older, obese, unfit, have chronic disease, or experience acute illness or infection are at a high risk for heatinduced pathologies (eg, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke). 1,7,139,147”
From Workers' health and productivity under occupational heat strain: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2018) · cites this paper as [1]
The discussion (p. 8) describes an aging population as highly vulnerable to heat, supporting the claim about older individuals. It does not identify obesity, poor fitness, chronic disease, acute illness, or infection as risk factors, or specifically connect those groups to heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredRising temperatures from more intense and frequent heatwaves will render coping mechanisms inadequate, as some regions meet and exceed limits to human survivability.
“Rising temperatures from more intense and frequent heatwaves will render coping mechanisms inadequate, as some regions meet and exceed limits to human survivability (Mora et al 2017).”
From Attribution of 2022 early-spring heatwave in India and Pakistan to climate change: lessons in assessing vulnerability and preparedness in reducing impacts (2023) · cites this paper as Mora et al 2017
The discussion (p. 8) projects increasing exposure to conditions exceeding human thermoregulatory capacity, especially in humid tropical regions. But the discussion (p. 4) says social adaptation can reduce exposure and modify mortality, even though outdoor conditions will remain deadly. The claim overstates the paper by treating coping mechanisms generally as inadequate. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredWith changing climate, more people will need access to air conditioning in regions where deadly heat waves become common.
“For example, with the changing climate, more people will need access to air conditioning in regions where deadly heat waves will become common [553,554].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
