We conducted a 12-month observational study involving 47 community-dwelling older adults in Boston, MA. Participants’ home ambient temperatures were continuously monitored, and they completed twice-daily surveys assessing self-reported experience of cognitive difficulties (“difficulty keeping attention”), thermal discomfort (“feeling hot”), and mood (“feeling down or depressed”) . We collected  \n17,201 Ecological Momentary Assessments, which were time-synced with home temperature sensor data. The mean indoor temperature at the time of assessments was 22.46 ± 2.4 °C. Using Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) controlling for humidity and other relevant covariates, we found that the likelihood of experiencing difficulty keeping attention and the likelihood of feeling hot were each lowest between 20–24 °C.  \nAbove this optimal range, every 4 °C increase in ambient temperature corresponded to approximately a 10-fold increase in the likelihood of reporting feeling hot (P \u003C 0.001) and doubled the likelihood of experiencing difficulty keeping attention (P \u003C 0.001). Although temperature showed a statistically significant relationship with negative mood, the magnitude of this effect was negligible and of limited practical significance. Future studies might benefit from evaluating mood using more sensitive measures. Based on our findings, indoor heat fluctuations appear to impact subjective well-being and cognitive difficulties among older adults. A climate- and location- specific optimization of indoor ambient temperature may therefore protect cognitive functioning and enhance comfort in older populations.","cbCaiqzha96ztcbg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqzha96ztcbg","pdf",47659,"English","# Study design\n## Participants and setting\n## Measures and monitoring\n# Statistical approach and findings\n## Optimal indoor temperature range\n## Effects of temperature outside the range\n# Implications and future directions","[{\"question\":\"How was home indoor temperature measured and connected to outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"Home ambient temperatures were continuously monitored, and twice-daily surveys were time-synced with home temperature sensor data through ecological momentary assessments.\"},{\"question\":\"What indoor temperature range showed the lowest likelihood of adverse subjective outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"The likelihood of difficulty keeping attention and feeling hot was lowest between 20–24°C.\"},{\"question\":\"What was the effect of temperature increases above the optimal range?\",\"answer\":\"For every 4°C increase above the optimal range, the likelihood of reporting feeling hot rose by about 10-fold, and the likelihood of attention difficulties approximately doubled.\"}]","INDOOR HEAT AND SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING IN OLDER ADULTS - Article Abstract | PDF",1790642609]
