Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Individuals with a bulky body build and relatively short extremities have a lower surface area to volume ratio, making it harder for them to dissipate heat. This can lead to a higher susceptibility to the effects of summer heat compared to those with more slender builds or longer extremities, who have a higher surface area relative to their volume, facilitating better heat dissipation.
