ABSTRACT: Background and aims
There is conflicting evidence regarding the association between body temperature and obesity. We aimed to assess the associations between body temperature and several adiposity and metabolic markers according to gender and menopausal status in a large population-based sample.Methods
The data collected between 2009 and 2012 from 4224 participants (mean age 57.3?±?10.4 years, 2225 women) of the CoLaus study (Lausanne, Switzerland). Body temperature was measured at the tympanic membrane.Results
Mean body temperature was 36.1?±?0.4, 36.4?±?0.4 and 36.3?±?0.4?°C in men, premenopausal, and postmenopausal women, respectively (p?ConclusionBody temperature is strongly associated with obesity markers in men and postmenopausal women. The absence of association in premenopausal women might be due to the influence of the menstrual cycle.
