“…Fat mass has traditionally been considered the body's predominant insulative tissue under cold stress, as populations exposed to cold stress are found to have a higher percentage fat mass, relative to populations from tropical or temperate climates (Craig, Halavatau, Comino, & Caterson, ; Houghton, ; Jones and White, ; Piers, Rowley, Soares, & O'dea, ; Shephard, Hatcher, & Rode, ). Subcutaneous fat mass has also been considered the dominant insulating tissue in whole‐body immersion investigations (Glickman‐Weiss, Hearon, Nelson, & Kime, ; Sloan and Keatinge, ; Toner and McArdle, ). Alongside adipose tissue, skeletal muscle mass is also likely to play a role in thermoregulation.…”
