The conversation also explores the regulatory landscape of the industry and the potential dangers of medication interactions.

  • Rajib Dasgupta: Coping with Rising Temperatures | Aging Less #32

    Rajib Dasgupta: Coping with Rising Temperatures | Aging Less #32
    Jan 1 2026

    In this episode of Aging Less we dive into the topic of rising temperatures. Host Sarah Stancombe is joined by expert Rajib Dasgupta to discover the stressors related with climate change, and the stress extreme heat can put on the body.

    Rajib Dasgupta is professor and chairperson at the Centre of Social Medicine & Community Health, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. He is a public health physician with three decades of experience in the public health services and academia, and brings together the optimal mix of epidemiology, social sciences, programme management, research, and policy engagement. He was a visiting professor at the Australian Research Consortium in Complementary and Integrative Medicine at University of Technology Sydney. His current research engagements are in One Health and Climate Change. He serves in advisory capacity in national health policy and programme bodies including the certification committees of polio eradication and measles-rubella elimination. He handled key responsibilities related to COVID-19 and G20 media and communications, and is a regular commentator on public health matters in national and international electronic media and columnist in leading national newspapers.

    In this episode, Rajib Dasgupta explains his work in India discovering the impact of heat on the vulnerable groups of outdoor workers, the elderly, and school-aged children. Heat can be detrimental to children's ability to play outside and can increase time spent on screens.

    Together, Sarah and Rajib Dasgupta discuss options for managing health during a heatwave. Some solutions could be working at adjusted hours of the day, such as earlier in the morning and later in the evening, to split work across the day and avoid the hottest hours. However, this may not practically work for project timelines and employers.
