What Are the Different Hypothermia Causes?
Hypothermia is a condition in which the body temperature drops below 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius) and some essential functions of the body begin to shut down. Hypothermia can lead to severe illness or death, and proper precautions must be taken any time hypothermia causes are present. Some of the most common hypothermia causes are cold temperatures and inadequate protections against cold temperatures; illness; old age and the body’s inability to properly heat itself; and exposure to other cold environments for a prolonged period of time. Children and the elderly are most susceptible to hypothermia.
