The association of body temperature with demographic, maturational, constitutional, and cardiovascular risk variables was investigated in a large, representative sample of US children and adolescents in the Health Examination Survey. While body temperatures in children ages 6 to 11 years were not related to demographic variables, temperatures in children ages 12 to 17 were lower at older ages, higher in females than males, and higher in whites than blacks. In multiple regression analyses, demographic variables, maturational variables, and variables related to heat production or loss explained less than 10% of the variation in body temperature. Body temperature was a significant independent correlate of resting heart rate and systolic blood pressure at ages 6 to 11 and 12 to 17. Body temperature showed weak tracking over a follow-up interval averaging 44 months.
在健康检查调查中,对美国儿童和青少年的一个大型代表性样本,研究了体温与人口统计学、成熟度、体质和心血管风险变量之间的关联。6至11岁儿童的体温与人口统计学变量无关,而12至17岁儿童的体温在年龄较大时较低,女性高于男性,白人高于黑人。在多元回归分析中,人口统计学变量、成熟度变量以及与产热或散热相关的变量,解释的体温变化不到10%。在6至11岁和12至17岁时,体温是静息心率和收缩压的显著独立相关因素。在平均44个月的随访期内,体温显示出较弱的轨迹跟踪。
