520 $a Six older (61 $\ pm $ 1 yr, mean $\ pm $ SEM) and 6 younger (26 $\ pm $ 2 yr) men matched for VO $\ sb2 $m ax, percent body fat, surface area to mass ratio, and thickness of subcutaneous fat were exposed to warm and cold thermal transients. During each test the subjects were seated in a thermoneutral environment (28 $\ sp\circ $\ sp\circ $\ sp\circ $\ sp\circ $\ sb{\rm re} $) , mean skin temperature (T $\ sb{\rm sk} $) , mean body temperature (T $\ sb{\rm ws} $) , heart rate (HR), forearm blood flow (FBF), whole body sweat rate (M $\ sb{\rm sw} $) , local sweat rate (m $\ sb{\rm sw} $) , and rating of thermal sensation (RTS). There were no age-related differences before or after acclimation in T $\ sb{\rm re} $, T $\ sb{\rm sk} $, T $\ sb{\rm ws} $, or HR responses to warm or cold stress. Before and after heat acclimation threshold responses showed no differences related to age in either the warm or cold tests. After acclimation a significant (p $< $. 05) resetting of the central thermoregulatory temperature for both warm and cold responses occurred and was independent of age. The FBF:T $\ sb{\rm re} $ slope was significantly lower (p.05) both before and after acclimation in the older group. The m $\ sb{\rm sw} $ also showed significant age differences before and after acclimation with the older men lower. Both age groups had significant m $\ sb{\rm sw} $ increases after acclimation, with the older men's postacclimation m $\ sb{\rm sw} $ almost equalling the younger men's preacclimation rate. Three conclusions were reached. First, when critical physiological and morphological variables are controlled, older men physiologically tolerate warm and cold stress as well as younger men. Second, age-related differences in thermoregulatory responses that do exist seem to be peripheral in nature (e.g. FBF:T $\ sb{\rm re} $ slope). Third, heat acclimation causes a readjustment to a lower control thermoregulatory temperature for both warm and cold stress that is independent of age.
