Agree Are women really colder?

Actually, the answer to this question is somewhat controversial.

The data collected so far indicate that people’s ability to regulate and sense their body temperature is not dependent on their gender. It is based on physical characteristics, particularly body fat and body surface area.

According to studies women in general They have a slightly higher body temperature than males. However, women’s hands, feet and ears are often colder than men’s.

This situation is related to the estrogen hormone of women. Estrogen, It dilates blood vessels and allows heat to escape.

The body’s metabolism, on the other hand, is responsible for producing energy.

Although men and women have the same body temperature, men generally have more muscle mass. But because women have less muscle mass Less heat evaporates from the pores in their skin.

Women then In a room with the same air temperature, they may feel colder than menHowever, this general opinion may change in some cases.

For example, middle-aged women may feel warmer during menopause and this sudden feeling of warmth It is not caused by an increase in muscle mass, but by hormonal changes.
