Description
While normal human body temperature is often cited as 36.1–37.2 °C, there is high-quality evidence demonstrating that older adults typically have lower baseline body temperatures. In contrast to hypothermia (< 35 °C) which is well recognized as a medical emergency, there is emerging evidence that low body temperature (35.0–36.0 °C) may predict poor outcomes in the geriatric population.
