Age does not affect thermal and cardiorespiratory responses to microwave heating in calorically restricted rats.

View Original AbstractThis study confirms that microwave radiation produces cardiovascular effects in mammals regardless of age, using 5G-relevant frequencies.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed rats of different ages to 35 GHz microwave radiation until death to study whether age affects how the body responds to microwave heating. They found that young, middle-aged, and older rats all showed identical patterns of rising body temperature and heart rate during exposure, with no age-related differences in survival time. This suggests that age doesn't change how mammals respond to intense microwave heating.
Study Details
This study sought to determine whether age influences the thermal distribution and cardiorespiratory responses to 35 GHz microwave (MW) heating.
Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 8/group) 3 to 4 mo old (young), 15 to 16 mo old (middle-aged), and 24 ...
Before MW exposure, there were no significant (p < .05) differences among age groups in measured par...
Thus, age does not alter thermal and cardiorespiratory responses to 35 GHz MW heating in food-restricted rats.
