Body temperature or air temperature? Cold body temperature gets you hypothermia and hot kills you if it gets too high.
THe other way round, body temperature is affected by your health. If you have an infection then your body temperature goes up to try to cook the bug.

Yes. The enzymes in our bodies function best at normal core body temperature. In a cold environment less of your body is at this temp. In a hot environment your body must work harder to maintian this temp. This is a speculative reasoning to explain why people in mediteranian climates tend to live longer.

In many ways, yes it can. It depends on how long you're exposed to extremely hot or cold temperatures.
