The aging procedure is an incremental reduction in the human systems, including the heart and respiration, blood vessels, endocrine glands, urinary-genital, and immune systems. This investigation evaluated the association between the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and Mizaj based on Persian medicine on thermal comfort of aging in sanatoriums in Mazandaran province in Iran.

This research was accomplished at Rasht Azad University from June 2022 to December 2023 in sanatoriums of aging adults under actual circumstances. Ninety-six aging adults above 65 years old were included. PMV, weather moister, clothing cover, temperament (Mizaj) based on Persian medicine, and thermal comfort in 4 seasons were considered. Linear regression was used to evaluate the efficiency of the PMV index in estimating the thermal sensation of aging adults according to their Mizaj.

Temperament and sex shows a negative and significant relationship with thermal comfort (P<0.05). The regression model showed that individual characteristics such as temperament and gender affect the thermal comfort score and PMV (P<0.05).

Therefore, to propose the desired coefficients in the correction of PMV values, we consider the effect of people's temperament and gender in the regression model.

The process of aging is a gradual decrease in the function of the body's systems, including the heart and blood vessels, respiration, urinary-genital system, endocrine glands, and the body's immune system. This study aimed to assess the effect of Temperament based on Persian medicine on the thermal comfort of aging in sanatoriums in Mazandaran province in Iran.

This cross-sectional study was conducted at Rasht Azad University from June 2022 to December 2023. In the field section, the living space (sanatoriums) of older people who are under actual conditions (without interfering with the temperature conditions) in the mild and humid plain climate of Iran was investigated. Ninety-six aging adults above 65 years old were included. Sex, age, temperament (Mizaj) based on Persian medicine, and thermal comfort in four seasons were assessed.

Ninety-five participants were included, and 54 (54.5%) were aging females. The distribution of Mizaj regarding sex was similar (P=0.647), and most of the participants, 49 (51.6%), had a cold temperament. There was a significant relationship between Temperament and thermal comfort (P<0.01). There was a significant relationship between gender and thermal comfort (P<0.01).

The results showed that the Temperament and gender of aging adults can play a central role in determining the amount of coverage of people and their thermal comfort. More long-term studies are needed to investigate more precisely the effect of Temperament on people's thermal sensations.
