Why do older people tend to get cold?

Older people tend to feel colder because as we age, our metabolism and circulation slow down, leading to reduced heat production and distribution in the body. Additionally, changes in the skin, such as thinning and decreased blood flow, can make older individuals more sensitive to changes in temperature. Staying warm and wearing appropriate clothing can help alleviate the feeling of coldness.
