Overview

Common risk factors for heat stroke include: excessive exercise in hot weather, lack of air movement, lack of water access, high humidity, obesity, acute illness, and certain drugs.

Risk Factors

Common risk factors to develop heat stroke could be divided in to 4 major groups:[1][2][3][4][5]

Environmental factors

  • Heat waves
  • High humidity
  • Lack of air movement
  • Urban heat islands
  • Lack of air conditioning

Compromised health condition

Genetic conditions

Medications

Classic heat stroke

Exertional heat stroke
