Beurer tip
• Temperatures measured with different thermometers should never be compared
with one another.
• Tell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and
on what part of the body. Also bear this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.
Holding the thermometer in your hand for too long before taking a measurement
can cause the device to warm up. This means the measurement could be incorrect.
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.
