Influences on body temperature
• A person's individual metabolism
• Age
Body temperature is higher in babies and toddlers than in adults. Greater temperature fluctu-
ations occur faster and more often in children. Normal body temperature decreases with age.
• Clothing
• Outside temperature
• Time of day
Body temperature is lower in the morning and increases throughout the day towards evening.
Activities
• Physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activities increase body temperature.
Beurer tip
Taking the body temperature provides a current measurement of a person's temper-
ature. If you are uncertain about interpreting the results or if the values are abnor-
mal (e.g. fever), please consult your doctor. This also applies in the case of slight
temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agitation, heavy
sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse, etc.
