The coldness sometimes means poor circulation, however with her weight being low and her age you should really take her to the doctor. It is very important that her physician knows your concerns even if you share them via the phone. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

It sounds like a circulation issue. It's important that she see a doctor - poor circulation is one of the symptoms of diabetes, especially in older people. She really needs to see a doctor in case this is a serious issue. Good luck.

it could be a number of things but two things that come to mind are poor circulation or the body is unable to keep heat in due to being so thin.
another thing is she outside much, if she is inside in the air conditioner and not moving much it is normal for her legs to be so cold.

Perhaps a doctor visit is the best for her. Sounds like poor circulation.

Poor circulation, this is normal at that age. But to make sure it isnt a clot or something worse, check with the Dr.

poor circulation is the first answer that comes to mind. is she diabetic? is there any places on her legs that are warmer than usual that could mean a dvt. if there is unusual swelling in the lower legs please get her to a doctor

honestly i think she should try 2 walk to loosen the stiffness.
She is probably having one of those signs that she is too old. I'm sorry, good luck though

Yeah, her blood is not moving through her body fast enough. That's why people get cold...unless it's freakin cold outside lol.

Honestly, she should see a doctor. It could be just poor circulation.

Poor circulation - most likely.
