Strangely the life expectancy Yuma, Arizona is the 6th highest in the country. Yuma's hotter than Phoenix. Perhaps no one there goes outside during the day in the summer.

heat or sun exposure?
Yeah I’m trying to understand this as well. I live in a place that’s extremely hot 4-5 months a year but I avoid sun exposure as much as possible and stay indoors most of the time. I wonder if that helps.
"People living in places where temperatures are at or above 90 degrees F for half of the year have experienced up to 14 months more biological aging compared to people living in areas with fewer than 10 days of temperatures at or above 90 degrees."
Damn, I've had heat exhaustion and heat rashes but never heat stroke. I had problems every year until I got an a/c. There goes 14 months of aging.
