Who and time:[edit]
Hyperthermia affects those who are unable to regulate their body heat, mainly due to environmental conditions. The main risk factors for hyperthermia is the lack of ability to sweat, so<-(doesnt need to be here) people that are dehydrated or who are older in age may not produce the sweat they need to regulate their body temperature. High heat conditions can put certain groups at risk for hyperthermia including: exercisers(physically active), soldiers, construction workers, landscapers and factory workers. Some people that do not have access to cooler living conditions, like people with lower socioeconomic status, may have a difficult time fighting the heat. People are at risk for hyperthermia during high heat and high humidity conditions, most commonly seen in the summer.

Various cases of different types of hyperthermia have been reported. A research study was published in March of 2019 that looked into multiple case reports of drug induced hyperthermia. The study concluded that psychotropic drugs such as anti-psychotics, antidepressants, and anxiolytics were associated with an increased heat-related mortality as opposed to the other drugs researched (anticholinergics, diuretics, cardiovascular agents, etc.). A different study was published in June of 2019 that examined the association between hyperthermia in older adults and the temperatures in the United States (US). Hospitalization records of elderly patients in the United States between 1991 and 2006 were analyzed and concluded that cases of hyperthermia were observed to be highest in regions with arid climates. The study discussed finding a disproportionately high number of cases of hyperthermia in early seasonal heat waves indicating that people were not yet practicing proper techniques to stay cool and prevent overheating in the early presence of warm, dry weather. (Acclimation?)

Where:[edit]
In urban areas, people are at an increased susceptibility to hyperthermia. This is due to a phenomenon called the urban heat island effect. Since the 20th century in the United States, the region with the most morbidity resulting from hyperthermia was the North central (Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska). Northeastern states proceeded morbidity rates after north-central states. Regions least affected by heat wave related hyperthermia causing death were Southern and Pacific Coastal states. The fact that northern cities in the United States are at greater risk of hyperthermia during heat waves is due to the fact that citizens tend to have a lower minimum mortality temperature. In contrast, cities residing in lower latitudes within the continental U.S. typically have higher thresholds for ambient temperatures

How:[edit]
Causes of hyperthermia include dehydration, use of certain medications, using cocaine and amphetamines or alcohol abuse. Bodily temperatures greater than 37.5–38.3°C (99.5-101.0°F) can be diagnosed as a hyperthermic case. As body temperature increases or excessive body temperature persists, individuals are at heightened risk of developing progressive conditions. Greater risk complications of hyperthermia include heat stroke, organ malfunction and(/) failure, and death. There are two forms of heat stroke; Classical heatstroke and Exertional heatstroke. Classical heatstroke occurs from extreme environmental conditions, such as heat waves. Those who are most commonly affected by classical heatstroke are very young, elderly or chronically ill. Exertional heatstroke appears in individuals after vigorous physical activity. Exertional heatstroke is displayed most commonly in healthy 15-50 year old people. Sweating is often present in Exertional heatstroke. The associated mortality rates of heatstroke is between 40-64%.
