Circadian temperature rhythms of older people
TH Monk, DJ Buysse, CF Reynolds III, DJ Kupfer… - Experimental …, 1995 - Elsevier
This collection of studies had the aim of exploring whether older (77+ years) men and
women have circadian body temperature rhythms different from those of younger adults. A
total of 20 older men and 28 older women were compared with either 22 young men or 14
middle-aged men in four protocols; all but the first protocol using a subset of the sample. The
four protocols were: 1) 24 h, and 2) 72 h data collections on a normal laboratory routine
(sleeping at night); 3) between 36 h and 153 h of field data collection at home; and 4) 36 h of …
