Do women feel colder than men

 Introduction

Women may feel colder than men, according to research. Research suggests that women may feel colder or have a higher preferred temperature than men. In the research of 2015 study proved that the preferred room temperature for men is 22°C (71.6°F), while for women it is 3°C higher, at 25°C (77°F). One possible reason for a more significant cold intolerance in females is that they often have a lower resting metabolic rate than men which means that a female body may use less energy when at rest. A higher metabolic rate can keep the body warmer while a low metabolic rate may keep someone feeling cold.

When to see a doctor

If cold intolerance is a new symptom or a person's tolerance for cold is diminishing, it is best to see a doctor. The doctor will ask for a detailed history of symptoms and conduct a physical exam. Depending on the exam results, the doctor may order additional testing such as blood tests to check hormone levels or blood counts to determine if there is an underlying medical cause.

Summary

Some people tend to feel colder than others. This is not usually an indication of any health issue. However, if a person is experiencing new or worsening cold intolerance, it might be a sign of an underlying condition. Anyone concerned about cold intolerance or anyone who experiences additional symptoms should see a doctor for an evaluation. Hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid is when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. Low levels of thyroid hormones can cause a wide range of symptoms.
