Abstract

The aspects of ambient temperature on the aged are considered with regard to seasons, daily living actions, air conditioning and similar factors.<BR>The following results were obtained from this survey : <BR>1) The summer night time ambient room temperature encountered by many aged people is very high, approaching daytime temperatures.<BR>2) Due to lack of heating, the winter night time ambient room temperature is strongly influenced by the outside temperature.<BR>3) Aged women generally wear lighter clothing than aged men. Most aged women pass their time in rooms with temperatures lower than the standard winter time temperature.<BR>4) This survey suggests the following ranges of comfortable daytime room temperatures for the aged : 25-29°C for summer and 20-25°C for winter.
