O.3.3.1.2 Body temperature is usually maintained naturally near a constant level of 36.5 °C to 37.5 °C (97.7 °F to 99.5 °F). However, if a person is exposed to cold and the body is unable to replenish the heat that is being lost, the body's core temperature falls. This can occur due to excessive cold but also due to health problems that decrease a person's ability to generate heat. Examples of such health problems are diabetes; thyroid conditions; severe trauma; the use of drugs or alcohol. When the body’s core temperature falls below the normal temperature range for a prolonged period, hypothermia can occur.O.3.3.2Signs and symptomsO.3.3.2.1 General
