Heat Adaptation Benefits for Vulnerable groups In Africa (HABVIA): A study protocol for a controlled clinical heat adaptation trial

2024-08-27

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Temperatures across Africa are expected to rise at up to twice the rate of mean global temperatures, posing significant health threats to vulnerable communities. Prolonged exposure to high day- and night-time temperatures has been implicated in a myriad of adverse health outcomes. The built environment and inadequate housing can exacerbate these consequences, prompting the n...
