Heat Prevention and Risk Factors Prevention of heat-related illness and death involves identifying those individuals most at risk. In the UK most deaths are in people over the age of 70 years and occur in the first few days of a heat wave. The table shown highlights the risk factors for severe heat-related illness: Extremes of age "Underlying chronic ill health and debility (esp. cardiac, respiratory and neurological)" Mental illness "Drugs (diuretics, beta-blockers, alcohol, stimulants, phenothiazines, anticholinergics)" Lack of air-conditioning (lower socioeconomic groups) "Occupational (miners, fire fighters, military recruits)"

We have a short graphic to illustrate who may be the most at risk during this wave of heat.
