【杭州7月9日电】(张煜欢)随着近期江浙沪皖一带高温天气的持续加剧,多地最高气温逼近40℃,这不仅对居民日常生活造成了显著影响,更对人们的健康安全构成了严峻挑战。在高温的侵袭下,中暑现象时有发生,而其中特别值得关注的是“不舍得开空调”的老年群体,他们因种种原因不愿或无法使用空调,成为热射病高发的易感人群。
热射病,又称为中暑性高热,是因高温环境导致人体体温调节功能失调,体内热量过度积蓄,引发的严重中暑类型。据当地医院统计数据显示,近期热射病患者数量显著上升,其中多数为独居老人。这一现象反映出在高温环境下,老年人的健康防护工作显得尤为重要。
专家强调,面对高温天气,应特别关注独居老人的健康状况。首先,家庭成员和社会应提供必要的帮助和支持,确保老人能够及时、有效地采取防暑降温措施,比如定期检查室内温度,适时开启空调或使用风扇等设备。其次,教育老人认识高温天气的危害,增强自我保护意识,一旦感到不适,如出现头晕、恶心、乏力等症状,应立即停止户外活动,尽快寻求阴凉处休息,并及时就医。
此外,社区和相关部门也应发挥积极作用,组织志愿者对独居老人进行定期走访,提供必要的生活照顾和健康指导,确保他们能够安全度过高温季节。通过社会各界的共同努力,我们可以为独居老人构建一个更加安全、健康的生活环境,减少热射病等高温相关健康风险。
面对即将到来的夏季高温,全社会应携手合作,采取有效措施,为所有群体特别是易感人群提供充分的保护,共同守护公众健康,确保每个人都能安全、健康地度过炎炎夏日。

Headline: “Heat Wave: Pay Attention to Senior Citizens, Preventing Heatstroke and Cooling Down”
Keywords: High Temperature, Heatstroke, Elderly
News Content: [Hangzhou, July 9] (Zhang Yuhan) – With the recent intensification of hot weather across the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui regions, many areas have seen temperatures soaring close to 40°C. This not only significantly impacts daily life for residents but also poses a serious threat to health and safety. Under the relentless heat, cases of heat exhaustion are on the rise, particularly among the elderly who “can’t afford to use air conditioning.” These individuals, due to various reasons, are unable to use air conditioning, making them a high-risk group for heatstroke.
Heatstroke, also known as heat-induced hyperthermia, is a severe type of heat-related illness characterized by the body’s inability to regulate temperature, leading to excessive heat accumulation and overheating. According to local hospital statistics, the number of heatstroke patients has significantly increased recently, with the majority being senior citizens living alone. This highlights the importance of health protection for the elderly in high-temperature environments.
Experts emphasize the need to pay special attention to the health of senior citizens during hot weather. Firstly, family members and society should provide necessary assistance and support, ensuring that the elderly can take effective preventive and cooling measures, such as regularly checking indoor temperatures, using air conditioners or fans as needed. Secondly, educate the elderly about the dangers of high-temperature weather, enhancing their self-protection awareness. If they experience symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, or fatigue, they should immediately cease outdoor activities, seek shelter in a cool place, and seek medical attention promptly.
Furthermore, communities and relevant departments should also play an active role, organizing volunteers to regularly visit senior citizens, providing necessary life care and health guidance, ensuring their safety during the hot season. Through the concerted efforts of all sectors of society, we can create a safer and healthier living environment for senior citizens, reducing the risk of heatstroke and other health issues associated with high temperatures.
Facing the approaching summer heat, society as a whole should collaborate, taking effective measures to provide sufficient protection for all groups, particularly those at risk, ensuring everyone can safely and healthily endure the hot summer.
