Which medical conditions are exacerbated by cold environments?

The correct choice is related to conditions that are known to worsen with exposure to cold environments. Anorexia can be exacerbated by cold because body temperature regulation becomes more challenging, and the body's energy requirements increase as it attempts to maintain warmth. Additionally, individuals with exercise-induced bronchospasm often experience heightened symptoms in colder air. Cold air can lead to bronchoconstriction, making it difficult for individuals with this condition to breathe comfortably during physical activity.

In contrast, while asthma can also be affected by cold air, hypertension typically does not worsen directly due to cold environments. Diabetes management is more related to temperature regulation in terms of insulin sensitivity but isn’t specifically exacerbated by cold weather. Eczema may worsen in dry conditions but is not specifically linked to cold environments in the same way as the first choice. Likewise, while arthritis and fibromyalgia can have symptoms that fluctuate with temperature changes, they are not as directly exacerbated by cold air as anorexia and exercise-induced bronchospasm.
