Heart rate variability during high heat stress: a comparison between young and older adults with and without Type 2 diabetes

In conclusion, when compared with young, older individuals with and without T2D demonstrate low HRV at baseline and less change in HRV (including an attenuated sympathetic response) during 3 h high heat stress, potentially contributing to impaired thermoregulatory function.
