Rectal, axillary, and inguinal temperatures were compared in 120 full-term infants aged 12 to 48 hours. Thermometers were placed in randomized sequential order and temperatures were recorded every 30 seconds until the reading remained constant for 90 seconds (stabilization). At least 95% of subjects reached temperature stabilization at all sites by 5 1/2 minutes. Mean difference between axillary and inguinal readings was 0.6 degrees F; between rectal and inguinal readings, 0.8 degrees F; and between rectal and axillary 0.2 degrees F. Although the greatest difference between mean temperature readings was found between the rectal and inguinal sites (0.8 degrees F), this pair of readings also had the highest correlation. This finding indicates that inguinal site temperatures are more reflective of rectal temperatures and may be less sensitive to effects of brown adipose tissue heat generation.
对120名出生12至48小时的足月儿的直肠温度、腋窝温度和腹股沟温度进行了比较。温度计按随机顺序依次放置，每30秒记录一次温度，直到读数持续90秒保持恒定（稳定）。到5分半钟时，至少95%的受试者在所有部位都达到了温度稳定。腋窝温度与腹股沟温度读数的平均差值为0.6华氏度；直肠温度与腹股沟温度读数的平均差值为0.8华氏度；直肠温度与腋窝温度读数的平均差值为0.2华氏度。尽管直肠温度与腹股沟温度读数之间的平均温度差值最大（0.8华氏度），但这组读数的相关性也最高。这一发现表明，腹股沟部位的温度更能反映直肠温度，且可能对棕色脂肪组织产热的影响不太敏感。
