[31] Extreme heat could also cause a 14% increase in the risk of dying for people with diabetes. [34]
Normal body temperature is around 37°C (98.6°F), and hypothermia sets in when the core body temperature gets lower than 35 °C (95 °F). [2] Usually caused by prolonged exposure to cold temperatures, hypothermia is usually treated by methods that attempt to raise the body temperature back to a normal range.

[233] Since women live longer, they are older on average when they have stroke and thus more often killed. [53] Some risk factors for stroke apply only to women. Primary among these are pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and the treatment thereof
