" … anorexia nervosa. Hypothermia is also associated with worse outcomes in septic patients. [1] While most people with sepsis develop fevers (elevated core temperature), some develop hypothermia. [1] "
Alcohol consumption increases the risk of hypothermia in two ways: vasodilation and temperature controlling systems in the brain. [1] [2] [3]Vasodilation increases blood flow to the skin, resulting in heat being lost to the environment. [2] This produces the effect of an individual feeling warm, when they are actually losing heat. [3] Alcohol also affects the temperature-regulating system in the brain, decreasing the body's ability to shiver and use energy that would normally aid the body in generating heat. [2] The overall effects of alcohol lead to a decrease in body temperature and a decreased ability to generate body heat in response to cold environments. [3] Alcohol is a common risk factor for death due to hypothermia. [2] and between 33% and 73% of hypothermia cases are complicated by alcohol. [2]
