Causes

" … 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

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]
