ABOUT BODY TEMPERATURES
It is a common myth that 98.6°F (37°C) is the “normal body temperature.” The truth is that
98.6°F (37°C) is an average body temperature. Normal body temperature is actually
varies ranged with age, gender, and measurement site. Body temperatures also fluctuate
through out the day, typically cooler temperatures in the morning, warmer in the afternoon,
and cooling down again in the evening. Other factors that can influence body temperature
are: the patient’s recent level of activity, metabolism rate, or medications. Normal body
temperatures also tend to decrease with age.
Please see the chart below for normal temperature ranges by patient age and site.
Readings from different body sites, even when taken at the same time, should not be
directly compared; body temperatures will vary by site.
