Question Do old people, even when healthy, generally have lower body temperatures than young adults? (Page 128)
Yes, even healthy older people generally have lower body temperatures than young adults. As people age, their bodies slow down and don’t produce as much heat. For older adults, normal body temperature is often around 36.2°C to 36.8°C, which is slightly lower than the typical range for younger adults.
