Add stupidity, stubbornness , inability to change to the equation.
Sounds mean...but true.
I see older people working in fields at the hottest time of the day
Going shopping, walking at the hottest time of the day.
Not using aircon at the hottest time of the day
Many more examples.
Once again...probably need some Govt. campaign to tell them "resting is not a sin "
