Abstract

The age-related features of the circadian rhythm of skin temperature were studied using the Termochron iButton method in two age groups of subjects: eight-to nine-year-old boys and girls and young men and women aged 20–22 years. For this purpose, the temperature was monitored for 48 h at a recording interval of 10 min. The following authentic chronobiological differences were revealed: the temperature mesor was higher in the girls than in the boys and in the young men it was higher than in the young women. The circadian rhythm’s amplitude was higher in the boys and the young women. Studies of the chronological values in different 24-h periods showed that the average level of temperature at night was lower in all subjects. The amplitude in the adults did not differ in different 24-h periods, whereas it was higher in the children at night.
