The blood circulation in the lower part of the human body is worse than that in the upper part . Wear warmer shoes and avoid wearing shoes and socks that expose the ankles or are too thin too early. When going out, you can choose to wear layered warm clothes, such as wearing autumn clothes inside, a sweater or sweater outside, and a coat. This way, it is easy to add or remove clothes according to weather conditions. Elderly people with low immunity are advised to reduce the number and time of going out, avoid crowded places, and remember to wear hats, scarves, gloves and masks if they must go out.

Some patients are more sensitive to cold weather, and different parts of the body need to be kept warm. For example, for patients with ankylosing spondylitis, it is most important to keep the cervical, lumbar, and thoracic spine joints warm; for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, pain in the hands and feet is the most common, so they should focus on keeping their hands and feet warm.
