9. Human factors

Cold stress can be influenced by

  • a high calorie intake.
  • the UV radiation index.
  • the wind chill factor.

Explanation from PART66Online

Wind strips away the insulating layer of warm air around the body, so the wind chill factor strongly influences how severe cold stress feels and how quickly heat is lost. A high calorie intake helps generate heat rather than worsening cold stress, and the UV index relates to sun exposure, not cold.
