Question

Biological reason for : Older people tend to feel more cold.

Answer 1

There are different reasons for why older people tend to feel more cold,

• The functions of thyroid glands slows down as the age increases which results in lowered body heat production.
  
• The elasticity of blood walls lowers as the age increases and hence the circulation lowers down which results in lower body temperature.
• The fat layer under the skin gets thinner as the age increases and hence less heat is conserved in the body.
