As a senior, do you get more easily chilled?

[fuzzybuddy]

When I was a young stud, I'd think nothing about running outside, for a minute, in winter, wearing just a tee shirt. Well, ain't no longer a young stud. I wear a sweater most of the day. It's that or keeping the thermostat @ 84 F (27). As it is, my thermostat is set @ 74. Let's face it we are aging. As a senior, do you get more easily chilled?

Yes & there is are reasons for that.

mine mostly due to loss of the fat layer. Also tend to bruise easier .

Not me.
House is at 68 degrees during the day and lower at night.
No need for layers, and usually I don't even need a sweatshirt. A few sweaters sit unused in a drawer after getting rid of most of them.
I never zip my coat or wear a hat in the winter. And I am in snow country.
I am looking forward to cooling down at some point!

I find it is usually because I am being inactive. If I get up and do something physical it helps.

Yes, this year it seems to be worse, that is I seem to chill at
higher temp than prior years...

 

[Sliverfox]

Yes,, I've lost weight that I didn't need to loose.

Same for me. 68 daytime although the sun's bright today and it's 69 in here. I'm wearing a tee and thin leggings and wouldn't bat an eye at running outside for something like this. This is my kind of weather... I don't get along with anything over 80 degrees.
