抄録	This study aimed to determine age-related differences in thermoregulatory and cardiovascular responses to a wide range of gradual ambient temperature (T-a) changes. Morphologically matched normotensive elderly and young males participated. The participants wearing only shorts rested during the 3-h experiment. After 30 min of baseline at 28 degrees C, T-a increased linearly to 43 degrees C in 30 min (warming) and then gradually decreased to 13 degrees C in 60 min (cooling). T-a was rewarmed to 28 degrees C in 30 min (rewarming), and that temperature was maintained for an additional 30 min (second baseline). During the warming phase, there were no age-related differences in blood pressure (BP) and rectal temperature (T-re), despite a significantly lower cutaneous vascular conductance and heart rate in the elderly (P < 0.05). At the end of the cooling phase, systolic blood pressure (SBP) in the elderly was significantly higher than the young (155.8 +/- 16.1 and 125.0 +/- 12.5 mmHg, P < 0.01). There was a consistent age group difference in SBP during rewarming. Mean skin temperature was significantly lower in the elderly during rewarming (P < 0.05). T-re decreased more in the elderly and was significantly lower at the end of the experiment than the younger participants (36.78 +/- 0.34 and 37.01 +/- 0.15 degrees C, P < 0.05). However, there were no age group differences in thermal sensation. In conclusion, even normotensive elderly participants have a greater and more persistent BP response to cold than younger adults, suggesting that the elderly might be at a higher risk of cardiac events during cooling and subsequent rewarming.
