Heat Exposure and Heart Rate Variability in Taiwan's Agricultural Workers
• A new study in Taiwan reveals high heat exposure among agricultural workers, especially in rice seedling fields, reaching WBGT levels of 48.2°C.
• Research shows a significant decrease in heart rate variability (HRV) with increased heat exposure, indicating potential cardiovascular stress.
• The study emphasizes the need for personalized heat exposure assessments and tailored heat mitigation strategies in subtropical climates to protect worker health.
