Summary

Occupational workers regularly perform physically demanding tasks in hot environments, exposing them to heat stress and potential dehydration. While the physiological impacts of heat exposure are well-documented, its effects on glycemic control remain less understood. Given the rising global temperatures due to climate change and the increasing prevalence of metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, it is essential to investigate how heat exposure during work influences glycemic regulation. Understanding these interactions will help inform future occupational health guidelines and metabolic health recommendations in physically demanding industries.
