The British high temperature continued. According to the "Guardian" reported on the 18th, experts pointed out that women's mortality rates in high -temperature environments are higher than men. In addition, Britain has included women over 75 years of age and babies on the list of high -risk groups of heat waves.

The British Health and Security Bureau pointed out that a study in the Netherlands found that the risk of death of elderly women at high temperatures was higher than that of men. However, the group put aside the factors and found that the mortality rate of women at the same age was still 15%higher than men when they encountered heat waves.

Researchers believe that the cause of this result is that women's sweating is much lower than men, so their heat exclusion ability is poor.

Hein Danan, a professor of sports physiology in Amsterdam University of Liberty University, said: "Generally speaking, the elderly are half of the young people, and women are half of men, so older women have the lowest ability to exude calories from their bodies."

In addition, the higher the heat in the body, the greater the pressure on the cardiovascular system. The research team said: "It is reported that women have suffered higher cardiovascular pressure, which is one of the reasons why they face higher risk of death at high temperatures." Said: "Women's core temperatures will be higher after ovulation, and women's physique is generally smaller than men, so the body heating will be faster than men."

Jiey, a professor at the University of Sydney University of Sydney, said: "Women's mortality under the heat wave is caused by many factors. We need to do more research to understand what is happening."
