2. Being Sensitive to Cold

Companions for Seniors

Some persons experience extraordinary discomfort in a chilly environment due to cold sensitivity or cold intolerance. Different people’s sensitivity to cold varies greatly, with some putting on many layers of clothes while others in the same surroundings are content with only one.

Hypothyroidism, anemia, fibromyalgia, and vasoconstriction can all cause cold sensitivity. Cold intolerance is often accompanied by a vitamin B12 deficiency. Low body weight, high body temperature, and low blood pressure are all circumstances that might produce cold aversion. People’s expression of uncoupling proteins may also differ, impacting the amount of thermogenesis they produce. Perceived temperature may also be influenced by psychology.
