In the US, the normal, oral temperature of adults is, on average, lower than the canonical 37°C established in the 19th century. we determined that mean body temperature in men and women, after adjusting for age, height, weight and, in some models date and time of day, has decreased monotonically by 0.03°C per birth decade.
