Abstract

Epidemiologic studies have shown that the health of military personnel who served in the Persian Gulf War theater is poorer and their mortality rates higher than military personnel who did not serve in that theater (1,2). A number of studies have attributed this observation variously to stress, immunologic abnormalities, and neuroendocrine dysfunctions (3,4). One of the important stressors to which military personnel were exposed was heat. Although little direct evidence currently exists to define the role that heat stress plays in long-term health, the significant effect that heat can exert on normal cell homeostasis suggests the need for such an investigation.
