Body temperature loss can be caused by a variety of internal and external factors. External factors would include cold weather, swimming in cold water, inadequate clothing for the season, etc.. Internal factors that can contribute to hypothermia could include a hypothalamus gland problem. The hypothalamus gland, located in your skull along with your pituitary gland ( which take residence in the Sphenoid bone that makes part of your anterior skull ) is the master temperature regulator in human beings. A defect in this gland can cause a problem in temperature regulation. Thyroid issues have also been known to mess with thermoregulation. Internal factors usually are glandular in origin, but can also be contributed to other issues like medication side effects etc..
