AB  - Individuals  vary  considerably  in  their  response  to  environmental  cold.  Factors  that  increase  the  possibility  of  injury  due  to  cold  include  poor  general  physical  condition,  nonacclimatization,  childhood  or  advanced  age,  systemic  illness,  and  the  use  of  alcohol  and  other  sedative  drugs.  High  wind  velocity  (wind-chill  factor)  and  moisture  may  markedly  increase  the  propensity  for  cold  injury  at  low  temperatures.
