Elderly or more vulnerable people struggle with thermal sensitivity and regulation. In this population living in hot conditions can lead to many symptoms and more serious issues, and can even be fatal. See work by Ollie Jay's group in Australia on heat waves and work by Kirsty Waldock in UK on heat stress in the elderly.

Most of our work is on severe occupational heat stress, mainly in fire instructors exposed to heat (~200C ~3-4 times per week), which offers a good model to answer your question. These individuals demonstrate long term symptoms of physical and mental fatigue, alongside chronic inflammation and suppressed immune function. Even though they also display physiological adaptation to heat and subsequent improved thermal tolerance.

So yes, if the population is vulnerable (poor thermal control or sensitivity) or the heat stress is too severe, individuals may display symptoms of chronic fatigue.

In principle by what was read in:

https://www.mayoclinic.org/es-es/diseases-conditions/chronic-fatigue-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20360490

https://medlineplus.gov/spanish/chronicfatiguesyndrome.html

Among the causes of chronic fatigue syndrome is not exposure to high temperatures. Rather, we talk about sleeping well, eating well or having a low stress environment as the most frequent causes

On the other hand, hyperthermia is caused by an increase in ambient temperature or by the impossibility of eliminating the excess heat produced by muscular work: heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heat stroke.

On the other hand heat-related illnesses occur when the body can no longer transfer the necessary heat to stay cool, in almost all cases it is preventable by taking some care, but in none is accompanied by congenital symptoms, they can be

Heavy sweating, weakness, cold skin, pale, wet and sticky, fast or weak pulse, nausea or vomiting, fainting, high body temperature, loss of consciousness among others ...

Data exists on the physiological responses to heat stress and chronic exposure to heat, however, a paucity of studies examining the psychological response needs review. Chronic heat exposure has a cumulative wear and tear effect on systemic and cellular function and alterations in immunity, digestion, a burdened reproductive system, dysregulation of the HPA-axis, chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology resulting from dehydration, and most concerning is decreased cognitive performance. Could the cumulative wear and tear effect on cognition resulting from chronic heat exposure and heat stress predispose vulnerable populations, like the elderly, to dementia? A recent review: The neurological and cognitive consequences of hyperthermia describes the vulnerability of brain function.

good

I agree with Jill Byrne .
