Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The core of the study involves a 4-week Sustainable Prevention Program, emphasizing practical and adoptable strategies like adequate hydration, regular rest breaks, the use of lightweight reflective clothing, and the provision of portable shade covers. This program is delivered through interactive methods including lectures, demonstrations, and group discussions, supplemented with educational materials.
Physiological responses to the program will be rigorously measured, employing core temperature sensors and heart rate monitors to provide objective data on the physical impact of the interventions. These measures, along with self-reported symptoms and heat strain levels collected through structured questionnaires, form the basis for a comprehensive evaluation of the program's effectiveness.
The study aims to provide a quantifiable reduction in heat strain indicators, offering insights into the program's potential for broader application in similar vulnerable populations

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Sustainable Prevention Program
Participants will receive the 4-week Sustainable Prevention Program consisting of lectures, demonstrations, group discussions, and educational materials focused on:
Hydration strategies (proper amounts and types of fluids, reminders for intake) Rest breaks (frequency, duration, scheduling) Lightweight reflective clothing
Device: Core Temperature Sensor
Participants might be equipped with a core temperature sensor to monitor their internal body temperatures. This device will provide continuous, real-time data crucial for understanding the physiological impacts of the prevention strategies and ensuring participant safety.
Device: Heart Rate Monitor
A heart rate monitor will be used to track the cardiovascular responses of the participants to heat and physical activity. This data is essential to assess the strain on participants' bodies and the effectiveness of the prevention strategies in mitigating stress.

Sustainable Heat Strain Prevention Program for Agricultural Elderly Workers (SHiP-AEW)
The SHiP-AEW is a 4-week multifaceted intervention program focused on evidence-based heat strain prevention strategies for agricultural workers over 60 years old. Delivered through weekly 1-hour sessions, the program incorporates the following primary components:
Control
Participants will receive no intervention and follow their usual workplace heat strain prevention measures such as basic hydration and voluntary rest breaks
No interventions assigned to this group
