The type of heatstroke that most often affects the elderly is classic heatstroke, also known as non-exertional heatstroke. This condition occurs when the body's ability to regulate temperature fails, typically due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures and humidity, rather than from physical exertion. Elderly individuals are particularly vulnerable due to age-related factors such as decreased thermoregulatory efficiency, underlying health conditions, and the use of medications that can impair heat dissipation.
