Body core temperature was measured in healthy elderly men and women under entrained conditions. Female subjects showed a larger amplitude and a higher peak temperature than male subjects. In addition, acrophase was advanced for females by an average of 49 minutes. Variability in acrophase was greater for males than females. This pattern of gender differences varies considerably from the pattern others have observed in young subjects, suggesting that aging may affect the circadian timing system of males and females differently.
在同步条件下测量了健康老年男性和女性的体核温度。女性受试者的体温波动幅度更大，峰值温度更高。此外，女性的体温峰值相位平均提前了49分钟。男性体温峰值相位的变异性大于女性。这种性别差异模式与其他人在年轻受试者中观察到的模式有很大不同，表明衰老可能对男性和女性的昼夜节律系统产生不同的影响。
