Temperature-related mortality has increased due to global warming. The elderly are more susceptible to heat than the young. This study compared the elderly's thermal responses before and after utilizing different local cooling devices (fan, air-cooling jacket, and evaporative cooling fan), including heart rate and thermal comfort. The elderly's equipment preferences were also explored. The study lasted five weeks in a climate chamber with 26 individuals. However, there was no significant difference in heart rate between before and after the use of local cooling devices. The elderly prefer an air-conditioning jacket with high wind speed and an evaporative cooling fan to minimize air temperature.
