Hypothermia is defined as having a core body temperature of (F) of less than:

A. Hypothermia is clinically defined as a core body temperature below 95.0&deg;F (35&deg;C). It is a medical emergency, especially in older adults who may have reduced thermoregulation. B. 97.5&deg;F is within the normal range for body temperature and does not indicate hypothermia. C. 93.2&deg;F is considered moderate hypothermia, but the diagnostic threshold is 95.0&deg;F. D. 90.5&deg;F would indicate severe hypothermia, but again, the official definition begins at <95.0&deg;F.
