“…Sensitivity to cold in young women may influence their reproductive health in the future since female infertility [28], abnormalities of delivery [29] and menopausal symptoms [30] have been reported in women who had sensitivity to cold. Low handgrip strength related to sensitivity to cold may lead to sarcopenia and dynapenia in the future.…”

Sensitivity to cold, which is a popular symptom in Japanese women, is associated with various symptoms such as shoulder stiffness and general fatigue. However, an association of sensitivity to cold with muscle strength has not been reported. The aim of the study was to clarify the associations of sensitivity to cold with handgrip strength and with menstruation-related symptoms in female university students in Japan. We recruited 278 female university students in Japan. Sensitivity to cold and menstruation-related symptoms including physical and psychological symptoms were assessed by using a self-administered questionnaire that we designed. Handgrip strength was measured by using a handgrip strength dynamometer. We received responses from 269 students. The prevalence rate of sensitivity to cold in the subjects was 54.3%. The students who had sensitivity to cold had a lower handgrip strength level (25.5 ± 3.8 kg) than did the students who did not have sensitivity to cold (26.7 ± 3.9 kg) (p = 0.017). Sensitivity to cold was associated with low body mass index. In addition, the students who had sensitivity to cold tended to have low back pain and constipation during menstruation. In conclusion, sensitivity to cold is an important symptom associated with muscle strength as well as menstruation-related symptoms for young women.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to develop a risk prediction model and a simple assessment sheet for cold disorder (hiesho) in middle-aged and older adults. Methods: The 889 participants in this study were from a community-dwelling general population (mean age, 62.4±8.8 years). The skin surface temperatures of the face and hands of the participants were measured by thermography. The cold disorder was objectively defined as having a temperature difference of ≥8°C between the forehead and fingertips. Data on the body regions with cold perception and the various con comitant signs were collected by a self-administered questionnaire and structured interviews. Results: The objectively assessed cold disorder was observed in 22.7% of participants and strongly associated with coldness of the back of the hand, palms, fingers, dorsal torso, toes, and soles of the feet. Its prevalence was found to increase with the number of signs of coldness. Older age, being female, low body mass index, hypertension, anemia, and physical inactivity were identified as potential risk factors. A logistic model for predicting the cold disorder was designed on the basis of the perceived cold, accompanying signs, and risk factors. The model showed good discrimination (area under the curve=0.737) and calibration capabilities (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, P=0.426). On the basis of this prediction model, a simple assessment sheet was developed to estimate the individual risk of experiencing the cold disorder, in middle-aged and older adults. Conclusions: With the proposed risk prediction model showing good discrimination capability, the assessment sheet may serve as a prescreening tool to evaluate the potential of middle-aged and older population to develop the cold disorder.
