The average body temperature is no longer considered to be 98.6.
The 98.6 F standard dates to the mid-1800s. German doctor Carl Wunderlich measured the armpit temperatures of about 25,000 people and came up with an average of 98.6 F.
Newer research suggests that the number has since gone down. In a recent review, scientists looked at temperature records from three periods between 1860 and 2017. The average oral temperature slowly fell by about 1 degree to 97.5 F. A person’s age, gender, or weight didn’t make a difference, nor did the time of day.
Doctors have several ideas about why body temperatures are falling. They include:
Lower metabolic rates. Your body uses energy so all your systems can work the way they should. This creates heat. But people may have lower metabolic rates now because we weigh more than people did centuries ago. The less heat your body makes, the lower your temperature.
Lower rates of infection. In the 19th century, infections such as tuberculosis , syphilis , and long-term gum disease were more common. As a result, many people had higher body temperatures.
Better thermometers. We may have more accurate thermometers than people did a century ago.
