For 150 years, 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit was thought to be the average body temperature for a healthy human being. But that number is wrong. But for at least the past two decades, researchers have ...

Building on the work of French doctors that showed inflamed parts of the body have a higher temperature than the rest, and that the average human body temperature was 36.9°C (98.5°F), he set out ...

They found the average human body temperature to be around 97.9 degrees, nearly a degree lower than 98.6. But are humans actually getting cooler? Maybe, but maybe not.

Over the past few decades, evidence has been mounting that the average human body temperature is not really 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Instead, most people’s baseline is a little bit cooler.

Is the human body temperature changing? The research included 677,000 temperature measurements from different periods, encompassing data on Civil War veterans, people born in the first half of the ...

The study found that normal human body temperature naturally varies between 36.2°C and 36.8°C (97.3°F and 98.2°F), suggesting that the commonly accepted value may be too high.

Even more surprising, research published in 2020 suggests that average human body temperature has been declining steadily over the past 150 years.

His work ultimately found the average human body temperature to be 98.6 °F (37 °C). Of course, this was just an average, with a range of normal body temperatures spanning 97.2 to 99.5 °F (36.2 ...

The human body's normal temperature was long considered to be 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Your temperature can fluctuate and vary based on your age and the method used to measure your temperature.

A 2020 study in the journal eLife showed that on average, the human body has dropped by 0.05 F every ten years since the 1800s, with men born in the early to mid-1990s having an average body ...

For decades, 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit has been the widely accepted “normal” average temperature for the human body. But new research adds to the growing body of evidence that humans actually run a bit ...
