Body Temperature Drop: A New Human Health Standard
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
New study from UC Berkeley reveals a significant decrease in average human body temperature over the past 160 years, now at 97.5°F, down from the long-accepted 98.6°F. This shift, not due to better thermometers, is linked to improvements in public health and living conditions, and slower metabolic rates. The findings, published in eLife, challenge medical standards and provide new insights into human health and evolution.
