Muscle Mass Makes A Difference In Body Temperature Regulation
Core body temperature decreases with age due to the body’s weakening ability to regulate body temperature. This process is known as thermoregulation.

Aging is a factor in your ability to adjust to variations in ambient temperature. Younger people adapt more efficiently than elders (persons 65 and over).
