The relationship between the Predicted Mean Vote model and Temperament Based on Persian Medicine on the Thermal comfort of aging adults in sanatoriums

Introduction: 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.Methods: This research was accomplished at Rasht Azad University from June ۲۰۲۲ to December ۲۰۲۳ in sanatoriums of aging adults under actual circumstances. Ninety-six aging adults above ۶۵ years old were included. PMV, weather moister, clothing cover, temperament (Mizaj) based on Persian medicine, and thermal comfort in ۴ 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.Results: Temperament and sex shows a negative and significant relationship with thermal comfort (P<۰.۰۵). The regression model showed that individual characteristics such as temperament and gender affect the thermal comfort score and PMV (P<۰.۰۵).Conclusion: 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.
