| Research Abstract |
A predicting model of senior's body temperature during bathing was developed by conducting the subject experiment. It was demonstrated that the model is able to reproduce the experimental value with high accuracy and is of practical use to simulate actual conditions. The relationship between body temperature and a risk of heat stroke was quantified based on results of an online questionnaire survey and actual data of bathing accident. In this study, each relationship of "housing characteristics", "bathing habits", "body temperature" and "risk of heat stroke" was understood quantitatively, and the risk of heat stroke of seniors during bathing was evaluated in the case of improving housing characteristics.
