What Is the Effect of Cold Weather to Seniors?

The transition of the weather from hot to cold signals the start of the holiday season; unfortunately, it also signals increased health issues for seniors.

Unlike younger people who can withstand cold temperatures without much trouble, seniors naturally produce much less body heat. This makes them more prone to frostbite or even hypothermia. Since our blood vessels also tend to constrict due to the cold weather, oxygen distribution is much harder so seniors with cardiovascular diseases are at a higher risk. It’s also common for chronic pain to worsen when temperatures drop. These are the reasons why seniors adapt the snowbirds’ concept when the cold season approaches.

Usually, seniors choose to migrate to Florida because aside, from the warm weather, it has no state tax and has a comparatively lower cost of living. There are also plenty of companies that provide respite care in Florida, thus, making it an attractive option for seniors.
