EFFECT OF AGE ON THE PATIENT’S THERMAL STATE USING WHOLE BODY GAS CRYOTHERAPY
Abstract
Human aging causes changes in a number of physiological, anthropometric, and thermal performances, in particular in the level of basal metabolism and tissue blood flow, subcutaneous fat thickness, as well as moisture content and heat conduction of the skin. This work is devoted to assessing the impact of the age factor on the patient’s thermal state using whole body gas cryotherapy. It has been established that there is a very strong dependence of the changes in the skin surface temperature of different compartments of 70-year old patients compared with 20-year old ones due to a decrease in skin heat conduction with age.
