People at risk of developing hypothermia also seem to have low resting peripheral blood flows, a nonconstrictor pattern of vasomotor response to cold, and a higher incidence of orthostatic hypotension.

There are practical measures that could be taken to reduce the risk of hypothermia in the elderly, and the difference between the skin temperature and the core temperature was reduced in this group.

Statistics available for the UK population do not support the view that there are large numbers of elderly people suffering from clinical hypothermia, though there may be a larger number in whom hypotheria is undiagnosed when the condition occurs secondary to other disorders.
