Abstract

Differences in adaptive capacity and sensitivity shape behavioral and physiological responses to overheated environments, which are associated with unequal personal heat exposure (PHE). Although growing evidence documents heterogeneity in PHE across regions and populations, studies rarely examine how adaptive factors influence sub-daily exposure patterns and resulting heat stress relative to regio…
