Influences on body temperature
A person’s individual metabolism
Age
Body temperature is higher in babies and toddlers than in adults. Greater temperature fluc-
tuations 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 even-
ing.
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 tem-
perature. If you are uncertain about interpreting the results or if the values are
abnormal (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 agita-
tion, severe sweating, ushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse, etc.
