In the present paper, an attempt is made to summarize current knowledge concerning the daily body temperature rhythm and its age-dependent alterations. Homeostatic and circadian control mechanisms are considered. Special attention is paid to the circadian system, as the mechanisms of autonomic control are the topic of another contribution to this special issue. Also, the interactions of the core body temperature rhythm with other circadian functions are discussed in detail as they constitute an essential part of the internal temporal order of living systems and thus guarantee their optimal functioning. In the second part of the paper, age-dependent changes in the circadian body temperature rhythm and their putative causes, considering circadian and homeostatic components, are described. Consequences for health and fitness and some possibilities to prevent adverse effect are mentioned in the final section.
在本文中，我们试图总结目前关于日常体温节律及其与年龄相关变化的知识。我们考虑了体内平衡和昼夜节律控制机制。特别关注昼夜节律系统，因为自主控制机制是本期特刊中另一篇文章的主题。此外，还详细讨论了核心体温节律与其他昼夜节律功能的相互作用，因为它们构成了生命系统内部时间秩序的重要组成部分，从而保证了其最佳功能。在本文的第二部分，我们描述了昼夜节律体温节律随年龄的变化及其可能的原因，同时考虑了昼夜节律和体内平衡成分。在最后一节中，我们提到了这些变化对健康和健身的影响以及一些预防不良反应的可能性。
